Table Service

Before you start your meal today I can see that you’re confused Please let me explain to you now how the utensils are to be used. Start from the left and work your way in There’s a fork that you can use to loosen a fin Next to that is a thing with a hook that slides Here’s some WD-40 to make sure that it glides You can use it to catch hold of a fat Farkel berry Unless of course it’s being served with dairy Then please switch over to the right side of the plate And grab hold of the spoon that matches its mate Use them in tandem to round up the sections, Of various things in the main course selection. Next to them is horse shoe shaped spoon with a handle That’s used for warming up bread with a candle. After that is a nice collection of knives Used to get honey from inside of the hives Now move counter clockwise to the top and find A nickel plated yo-yo with its string entwined. You use that for knocking stray fingers away From the dessert that comes for you on a tray. At last we come to that spring loaded gadget You can use it to peel bananas or baguettes. I hope you got all that down with your pencils, As this now concludes our tour of utensils. • Fine Finlandic Fin Fork • Farkel Berry Hook (With safety slide) • Tandem (Sometimes Twin) Round Up Spoons • Bread Warming U-spoon • Slicker Honey Hive Stickers • Nickel Plated Knuckle Whacker • Spring Loaded Bread and Banana Peeler
