Fallible: When Fast is Slow

Soft boiled eggs
When cracked open for eating
Can make a mess
By running all over

Rushing through breakfast
Because I'm late
But speeding up does not help
In fact, creating this mess to clean up!

Mind you, this egg-yellow run
Happens quite often
and yet I've never known
Just how it's done

Nor do I comprehend why it occurs
Some days
But others
It does not

But today
I suddenly had an idea:
Why not wait a bit?
After cracking each egg, leave the cap on

Because then, I reasoned,
Heat will harden
The soft inside
And when unlidded the contents won't run

Thus, after cracking the shell
With a knife, I waited;
(But not sure what I did while I waited
Because I went to the compute afterwards
And found a virus)

How frequently this happens:
When I'm on the go
That I try to speed up
And my fast is slow
