Goodspoons

By Leon Barnard

Somebody ate all the good spoons.
There's too much milk in my cereal.
no there isn't.
the not good spoons are no fun.
I haven't seen the good spoon with the curved end in a long while.
But who would eat the good spoons.
Somebody who doesn't like not good spoons.
I guess.
Like me.
The not good spoons aren't always not good
The big not good spoons are good for soup
and the skinny ones are quite good for yogurt.
And maybe applesauce.
But applesauce is better with bendy straws.
I hope I haven't been mean to them.
I always put them in the dishwasher to get them clean.
And it was just that twice that I hid one so that only I could
use a good spoon
Cereal is much better with good spoons.
I hope I don't have to eat yogurt and soup for breakfast.
They leave a bad taste in my mouth
in the morning
or maybe they're just hiding?
