Dorks and Spoons

Milton’s Dork had a brother in Troon
Who had hoped he’d be cuddling soon
With a cute dominatrix
Who hailed from The Matrix
Until she said, “There is no spoon!”

Interesting, Jeff. I thought maybe she'd say, "There'll be no swoon!" Thanks for the nod!

I'm told I should have watched The Matrix, but I never did. I suppose there's a hole in my cultural knowledge. Come to think of it...lots of holes!

"There is no spoon." is a pivotal line from The Matrix, and of course spooning is another name for cuddling, so I hoped it fit, but the fork gave me the idea :-)
