To think of all
The times I spent
Shivering in my box
With my five companions
Worried that
I might be poached
Or scrambled
Fried
Beaten
Or boiled
Or worse yet
Cracked
Thinking of my days
As a young yolk
Fresh in my shell
Straight from the hen
All cosy
And warm
Nested in the hay
Till human hands
Plucked me away
Now here I am
Cooking in a pan
With two of my fellows
A bit of cheese
Some mushrooms
That have lost their stems
Poor things
And it doesn’t seem so bad
It’s a useful thing
To be food on a plate
Who knows who I might feed
And what they will do
For this world
All in all
A very honourable end
For an egg
About Me
- Ichthus Fish
- I’m a Christian. I have a passion for ripe fresh pineapple, and feel that a really good coffee bar is an important factor for city living. I’ve moved around a lot, because of work and also because of life, but I’m currently living in the UK in a converted attic, with my cat and way too much stuff. Have had a varied career as a primary teacher’s assistant, care home assistant, adult learning assistant, shop worker, retail assistant manager, car mechanic, media / AVA technician, university lecturer, actor, and various behind-the-scenes roles in theatre, TV and independent short film. Acting is still by far my first love, and I hope I never lose that buzz.
