They met at a denny's table...
but prepare yourself for no ordinary fable.
He was a coffee bean, mysterious and smart,
she was an egg who smelled like a fart.
Her little red bow hung down from her shell.
Was he looking at her, she just couldn't tell!
She rolled to position away from his eyes.
Holding her menu up like some sort of disguise.
Her little feet tapped, and yes she has feet.
Anxious and waiting for them finally to meet.
He sipped his latte and took a deep breath.
And soon egg was jittering like she was on meth.
His feet pitter pattered along the linoleum floor.
Egg contemplated running straight for the door.
Knocked on her shell keeping her yolk in check.
Feeling nausea OMG maybe she should hit the deck.
His tan, smooth skin illuminated in the dim light.
Caught a scent of coffee that gave him a fright.
Omelettes basking on the stove in the back...
waiters did ponder if they were on crack.
The little egg blushes yellow, her yolk did gush.
Little did the coffee bean know, she already had a crush.
He stood quiet boldly at the end of her chair...
a scent caught his attention and his nostrils did flare.
Excused him self a moment to check his underwear.
He reassured himself and headed towards the door.
Tripped on his shoes and fell to the floor.
His white shiny teeth shined towards the table little egg sat.
In shock and disbelief he couldn't ponder where she was at.
His walked closer in hopes she went to the bathroom
Sat waiting and wondering looking over her costume.
As he flipped the menu page a note fell at his feet.
He held his face in his hands as he read of her retreat.
As much as this egg had a crush on the bean.
Her self conscience scent of a latrine.
Made her run away from any chance they had.
Well as you guess our little coffee bean was sad.
But vowed to find this egg and ask for her hand.
He rode in his cup mobile all over the land.
Putting up posters, and handing out wanted ads.
Knocking on all homes asking mothers and dads.
This little bean was flustered and oh so distraught.
Maybe the egg didn't like him as much as he thought.
So in his defeat he went back to where they met.
Sipping his latte just praying to forget.
He searched the room with his eyes...
A look of shock silenced his cries...
A round little darling eating pancakes.
Upon sight of this beauty his little heart aches.
He stood again in boldness and in fear...
"Excuse me miss, is anyone sitting here?"

this is absolutely wonderful! very creative... i love it!!

Well, although very weird in most eyes, I must say it was very well thought out and creative. Mistake towards the middle (quiet insted of quite). Just thought I would tell you because it looks like you tried very hard to make this grammatically correct. Good job bud.
Peace and love,
Mitchell

OMG!
I was wondering how you got your poet name Rejected Easter Egg. This is way too far out there to read when first getting up before a cup of coffee. RIP as per coffee bean. He's in the coffee grinder. About to take his last trip in cup mobile. 
-
This one was cute, and rather hilarious might I add. I did say wtf? a couple of times lol. Absurdly comical Holly.
Silvos.
-
bahahaha interesting.
-
Theres just one thing I can say; LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!
-
O.K.
Was that what happened to Humpty Dumpty? Meth made him fall off the wall? This poem reflects the disillusionment of a difficult age. Very unique, and your story shows good imagination. Life is like wine and old violins. It gets better with age.Best Wishes.

-
Noice!
Wow, I really like the skills you exhibit in this piece! The idea that you're making yourself into an egg and the male into a coffee bean is truly something. What's more is it was very sweet.

I bet you'd brighten up a Nero of Pret A Manger any day, this is an almost every day scenario, the metaphors of bean and egg are enlightening, and it is very nice to know of your existence to understand it even further. I really feel like a nice fry up somehow, and will make lovely reading again while eating it.
The story revolving around it, is as cute as Beatrix Potter. Nice One Tony
-
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww it's so cute ahaha
-
hahaha this was great holly. it made me smile and it was rather so whimsical and fun that it was hard to see the heartache that was there but it was there and that made this wonderful. Its like a tim burton movie where instead of using dark themes to illustrate love you used lighthearted themes to illustrate heartache awesome job babe!

An interesting little tale and if you are referring to the Denny's restaurant, you will need to capitalize Denny's.
I didn't quite see where it fit to the prompt but I loved your well done rhyme and the story. Nice work. Best of luck in the judging. ~Pamela
-
Very whimsical tale! Quite a wonder that all
this was made to rhyme too! It doesn't have
very much to do with the given theme, but
it certainly did give me a smile or two. Blue -
I tried,
but could not link what you have presented to that of the expectations of the contest. Frans -
I am non-plussed.
Who is the donkey? Who is in love? The images do not relate to the contest, it seems. Thank you for this entry.

This is a very funny poem. It rhymes well from beginning to end. It is quirky and orignal. If there is ever another like it, I will know they copied you.
I read it twice and I am still grinning.
