Dyeing Eggs

Mommy lines the cups up nice
adds drops of color, once then twice
when they boil, cold eggs turn hard
I want to start but Mom keeps guard

Soon they cool and I can start-
generating my works of art.
Choosing colors takes some time.
I close my eyes, then I pick lime.

Mommy dyes one pink then blue.
I've finished one but she has two.
Soon we have two baskets full.
One for home and one for school.
