Now you know the rest of the story...

EGGS !!!

Eggstra, eggstra:

Finally the truth is secured
Of what the question was,

This is it:

Which was it now? The chicken or the Egg?

I have it from a source beyond retribution
That with no uncertain disparity,
And overwhelming with doubtlessness,
That what comed first was unmistakably

The Egg !!!!

Here is the scuttlebutt, sirs and madamses…

From the reproduction units of a prehysterical dinosaurish lady lizard
Was deposited upon some fine dirt in maybe a nest of crackly twigs and stuff
This thing a bit lopsided but oval still,

An Egg.

Our dinosaur lady was surely feathered, and a beaker too..
And the daddy was no horse, but lizarddish in fact
And so it (he) did thus entice his main squeeze to
Procreate.

Imagine the noises, what a scene! They made quite a pair,
Everyone said so.

In an unfortunate twist of economy the first of the ovaloids
Was et all in all by a mammal, whole and unscrambled.
But mother disbanded the rascal and sat on junior for the duration.

Her beau of a matter of business was off squirreling about
And causing general mayhem with similar ladies
But they being of a different feather eked out just more lizard things
Which did then go extinct to be fossil fuels or such.

In no time at all this little egg, for it was commented on as puny
In certain circles,
Rattled about and commenced on cracking open
Which did it emerge then as being tiny and fluffy
Yellow and beyond cute…
An infant chick.

So there it is, from a source at the scene, and passed down over the epochs,
Or mere eons, from one whiskered pest to the next,
To the current rat, with whom I have spoke:
What came first was the Egg,
which then grew up to a chicken…and a tasty snack they are.
