An omelet without breaking any eggs.  
How does one go around such ancient wisdom,  
and do it while conforming to the regs --  
no liquid egglike product. To appease them,  
the ancients that came up with this refrain,  
one cannot simply buy it in the store,  
and surely there is no need to explain  
that nothing would upset the story more  
then going out to eat. That's not the spirit  
in which the riddle's posed. No, not at all,  
so any effort of the sort, or near it,  
would surely violate the protocol.  
What's left then to attempt, but to renege,  
and counter with the chicken or the egg.
