Cutlery

To use a fork,
Take the fork in your right hand,
And the food in your left hand,
And carefully place the food
On the prongs of the fork.

You may have to ask Daddy
To push the food all the way on
If it's particularly stiff.

(Sometimes by accident
randomised stabbing
spears a potato
on the fork's prongs.
Then there's a frantic
chewing and swallowing
to empty the mouth
for the spuddies' swansong).
