There once was an Eggman, as tough as a rock,
He’d been through more trouble than a ticking alarm clock!
He’d been cracked and been chipped and he’d taken some knocks,
But inside he had something that was of unusual stock.
Now Eggman was strong, yes, that part was true,
But oh boy, his layers were peeling right through!
Every battle, every mess, every bonk on his head,
Knocked off a layer, like he was breaking an egg!
He didn’t mind much, not a squawk or a scream,
He just kept moving forward, and following his dream.
But one day, POW! a crack went so deep,
He looked in the middle, and what did he peek?
A tiny green plant! The size of your thumb!
Her name was Ghia, and she heald much wisdom.
“Eggman,” she said, “you’ve been tough, you’ve been smart,
But now it’s time to find the truth in your heart.”
He blinked at the plant, then gave her a wink,
“So I’m not just an egg? Who would’ve thought to think?”
“Nope!” Ghia laughed, “you’re as Earthy as dirt,
With every crack and tumble, you’ve grown past the hurt.”
The Eggman was puzzled, he scratched at his shell,
But soon he stood proud, and oh boy, you could tell!
He knew he was more than just cracks and a fight,
He was Eggman, yes, but Earth was his light.
So kids, here’s the moral, before you drift to sleep,
Be true to yourself, no matter how deep.
You might crack a bit, get knocked down and spun,
But your real self will shine, once the layers are done!
