The $6.99 Special

We went to breakfast at a restaurant
Where the 'Seniors Special' was
Two eggs, bacon, hash browns
And toast for $6.99.
'Sounds good,' my wife said,
'But I don't want the eggs.'

'Then, I'll have to charge you $8.99
Because you're ordering a la carte,'
The waitress warned her.

'You mean I'd have to pay for
Not taking the eggs?'
My wife asked incredulously.

'Yes!' stated the waitress.
'I'll take the special then,' my wife said.

'How do you want your eggs?'
The waitress asked.

'Raw and in the shell,' my wife replied.
She took the two eggs home
And baked a cake.
