Two nice round eggs
The water is hot and the heat is on
We splutter and curdle
Two round eggs
In the heat of the moment
Clean, clear, and with the right mindset, hot: if your intent was to show the pleasures of sex, your poem's spot on! It's quick and light, the perfect qualities of a humping-poem: become too heavy and it'll start to sicken; but at the same time, it bears much fruit, as in its simplicity it achieves a quality of ubiquity.

A question, though, on the aforementioned qualities of the poem: did the speaker, through imbuing these traits into the poem, imply that they were the characteristics of sex that she or he thinks are most pleasurable? And on a rather unrelated note, what exactly did inspire into you the imagery of eggs? The imagery, by the way, is another brilliant thing about this poem: it adds another layer of meaning. I personally interpreted the eggs as symbols of fertility, that the speaker, in his/her pssion, forgot not the true purpose of sex, or saw himself/herself as, at his/her core, the very image of sex; however, Mopkins's interpretation, that this could be pertaining to a lesbian relationship, is I think a much better interpretation: anyway, this once again shows how good the poem's simplicity is!
