Kitchen Knife Hygiene

Finally, my blood began to coagulate. 
I counted up my fingers, and found I had eight; 
And so, I'm sorry to say, for me it's too late; 
But I'm still alive, and hope to spare you my fate.  
Let me stress the importance of kitchen knife hygiene. 
Listen up, budding chefs, and you will see what I mean. 
If you do not sharpen your knife, you’ll pull and you’ll tug, 
And you’ll fight with your food, until you give it a slug. 
You’ll cut up your fingers until you’re covered with blood
Which will spurt out from you like a diluvial flood.
Your face will turn white; and then you will fall with a thud
While up on your cutting board remains that dumb spud.
So, sharpen up your knife until meat cuts like soft butter,
But miss and you’ve no fingers in the kitchen to putter.
