Where's my Fork?

Imagine trying to eat your spaghetti

Without a fork or spoon

You’d have to use your fingers

Like a funny ‘ole raccoon!

How would you butter your bread
If you had no knife to spread it?

Dip your finger in the butter

And spread it like you mean it?

This is how it happened

To the poor CN railway crew

When they tried to eat their dinner

With no knives or forks or spoons!

******

After school on Wednesday

Young Gerald went out to play

He came across the sleeper car

Where some of the workers stayed

What was inside this sleeper car?

He really wanted to know

So he went inside and looked around

And saw the eating utensils
All lined up in a row

He thought it would be very funny

To hide them under a bed

So when they ate their dinner

They would use their fingers instead!

*******

Mr. Carter was going home

(He managed the railway crew)

He saw them trying to eat their dinner

With their fingers in their stew!

Mr. Carter thought this was funny

What happened to their utensils?

Then he found out what really happened

Young Gerald Carter!  That little Devil!

Young Gerald had a special spot

In the kitchen “bad-boy” corner

That is where he spent the evening

Until he could sit no longer

So if you lost your fork and knife

And you cannot butter your bread

Maybe Gerald took them

And hid them under YOUR bed!
