Ode To A Spork
by
© tricksterwombat


Over hill and over dale
My trusty spork it doth not fail
To pierce the writhing body
Of the quick and wily snail

Anorexic I would surely be
If not for my trusty spork, you see
Spam and eggs and greasy beef stew
Would naught but be unknown to me

Ambrosia, green Jell-o, red potato too
Macaroni, carrot raisin, pasta fazool
Deli delights I'd have never known
If not for the breathless wonder of you

Oh spork! Devine spork!
Fine cutlery of the dork
Ne'er will I let them say of you:
"A-ah, it's just a round fork"
