I didn't see a parent around, but I did take a careful peek inside:
If I had to guess, I'd say that they are probably mockingbird eggs. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for the parents.
Regarding the post title, it's from a whimsical Irish folk song. My worksite is in a valley, and the ground gets pretty marshy in this area when it rains, but alas, it's no bog. Anyway, here's a version of this song by the Makem Brothers:
I have a friend who plays a lot of "family friendly" events and the cumulative nature of the song makes it great for sing-alongs. I can't find a video of him playing it for a crowd of grade-schoolers, but it's a sight to behold. Seeing a crowd of drunks singing it is even more entertaining.

Eggs? I see one...did more appear?
It will be interesting for you to watch.
I saw a young mockingbird the other day in D.C. He/she/it kept testing wings, although it could fly. It didn't shy as far away from me as an adult typically would, either.

Sweetiepie, would it be possible for you to check MPS 31 May Housekeeping article? I recommend an article there that I would like you to check out. I am so not a young, American dudebro but it struck me as worth reading but I value your opinion.
Please (bats eyelashes).

Nah, I fear that mom fell prey to something.
