Chimera's Egg: Yolk disagrees

yolk disagrees; manifest to affect Easter at first ways

 

For a week who is eggs-

and straight you- for

heightening with contact

of fiery and sometimes

very dejected eggs, loosen.

could?- to see eggs with eggs

closer to his own eggs-

may?- pop a good landslide

for eggs, eggs.

Note:

This is one heck of a mixture. I had intended to start with something local, but nothing was that interesting, and the short piece on Berlusconi caught my eye. This is the first paragraph of an article about him, which I logically combined with a food column on (you guessed it) eggs, a horoscope (starting from the beginning which is Aries) and a sports column on the Houston Rockets.

 

The title is the title of the Berlusconi piece with similar treatment using a subheading for the egg piece, today’s horoscope and a subheading for the sports piece. I stuck with the rules, although I did change things like tenses and quantities to make it slightly less nonsensical.

 

Here is the prompt I was responding to:

 

The chimera of Homeric legend – lion’s head, goat’s body, treacherous serpent’s tail – has a less forbidding Oulipian counterpart. It is engendered as follows. Having chosen a newspaper article or other text for treatment, remove its nouns, verbs and adjectives. Replace the nouns with those taken in order from a different work, the verbs with those from a second work, the adjectives with those from a third.
