When Paul Simon wrote “Mother & Child Re-union”, he was inspired by the chicken omelette he was having that day. But when I was having eggs for breakfast one day, I had the following thought.
The chicken lays two types of eggs. It lays one type with the embryo inside and we don’t eat those ones. Then it would stop and start to lay the other type without the embryo inside and we all eat those ones – mmm, good. But then it would stop again and start to lay the type with the embryo inside, so on and so on – in a CYCLE!
Yikes! In human terms we are eating the Chicken’s Period!
Perhaps Paul Simon didn’t tell us the whole story about his lunch. Please don’t get mad at me everyone. It’s just one of those chicken and egg thoughts from a different perspective.
