The Spork


Culture

Is all about

Experiment.

Take the ‘spork’.


It has a spoon

At one end,

A fork at the other

And a serrated knife

Edge on one side

Of the fork.


A space saving

Innovation for

The traveller?


Or the product

Of nightmare –

‘You cut your tongue

On the knife edge,

The remains of food

Or any liquid drip

Down your hand

From the spoon

When you use the

Fork; you can’t

Hold and cut at

The same time,

And – it’s bloody useless!’


But to others,

A handy

Item.


That is genuine

‘Cultural diversity’

To wit, a

Difference of

Opinion
