There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do,
Involves cutting and slicing a thing or two,
I hold down one end with the fork in my left,
Put weight on the knife in my right with some heft,
Try not to slip out to one side or the other,
Throw food off the plate on t' t'table or brother,
Splash Mummy or Daddy with sauce or with beans,
Cause sis' in the highchair to break out in screams,
Laughing so hard she'll RUPTURE HER SPLEEN,
Food hitting the opposite wall with a splat...

There's a trick with a knife I'm learning to do,
Do it tidily? Well, I'm working on that,
Use a knife and fork good, like Mum and Dad do,
While not mistakenly feeding the cat.
