There are many ways to boil an egg
including standard, off-the-peg
methods such as pop them straight
among the bubbles, or else put
the eggs in while the water’s cold
and then turn up the heat. I’m told
there is no need to pussyfoot
and bake them in a muffin tin
or pressure cook, or steam. although
I watch each TV cookery show
for recipes which I’ll collate –
but in the meantime, while you wait
and if unsure how to begin
try poaching them instead, in gin.
