Spork MAG
June 9, 2017
May I sit with you? Asked the spork,
speaking to the spoons
Are you a spoon?
Well, No –
Then no, leave us alone
May I sit with you? Asked the spork,
speaking to the forks
Are you a fork?
Well, No –
Then no, please step away.
So the spork leaves and sits by himself
Alone and dejected
For he never knows he’s beautiful
Only that he’s different.
