This Is Just To Lay

William Carlos Williams was an American poet. One of his most famous poems is "This Is Just To Say". You can find it here: http://www.poets.org/viewmedia.php/prmMID/15535
The poem is 28 words long and there exists about 2,800 published essays analyzing them. This is my version of "This Is Just To Say".


This Is Just To Lay

I have thrown out
the eggs
that were in
the nestbox

and which you
were probably
saving for Friday.

Forgive me
they were outrageous
so blue
and so covered in poop.
