Pride Cometh Before the Fall

There once was a very special egg,
An egg who was determined to grow legs.

All of the other eggs disapproved of her dream,

An egg with legs had never been seen!
She didn't listen to what they had to say,
She knew her dream would come true one day.One night, she pushed and pushed with all her might...

When suddenly an arm burst through--oh happy sight!She showed her limb to all her friends,

They ooh'd and ah'd and thought her dreaming at an end.

One limb was good, it was great,

But for more limbs she couldn't wait!

Again she tossed and turned, for more and more she yearned.

Three more limbs were hers,

And such long, elegant limbs they were.


She pranced, she posed,

She didn't care if she became an egg side-show.

One day, while swaggering along, she never suspected her fate,

She didn't look down, until far too late.

The other eggs mourned, they wept, and ultimately they said,

"You see, we were right all along, no good ever came of an egg who dreamt of legs."
