The reason hard boiled eggs dont last as long as raw eggs is that in cooking the eggs, a natural protective chemical layer (produced by the mother hen) is washed off the porous eggshell, allowing germs to enter. Source(s): http://cookery.newarchaeology.com/how_lo... sugarice82 Â· 9 years ago.

In poetry, the chorus is called a refrain. Coming from an old French word refraindre, meaning to repeat, a poetic refrain is a word, group of words, line, or group of lines repeated at specific moments in the poem. In songs, the point of the chorus is to be easily remembered and catchy. In poetry, the refrain's purpose has a little more to it.
