'A Truck Carrying Eggs has Rolled South of Kaikoura

A truck carrying eggs rolled south of Kaikoura
sometime last year, radio news reported.

So I'm thinking of this eggy subject above -
it's like my writing, that's sure not sunnyside up.
When rhythm is called for stressed or unstressed,
I'm more than stressed, let it be said!
Which emotion, happy or sad, joy or dread
do I express?

Colours! I've written no colours, perhaps I'm drab,
but eggs are yellow, orange and white, speckled and brown,
a red dot sometimes. They don't smell unless they're bad, oh!
What if the tarmac was hot, egg on black, opposing the AA
sign, that they said got smashed. Kaikoura, now that's a name,
whales to watch, waves to shame. Alliteration, that's my game.
A rhyme! I love it when I'm going to reach my poetry/recipe
deadline on time!!
