In a haunted drawer where the shadows creep,
Lived skeleton cutlery that never could sleep.
The knife had bones, the fork had a grin,
The spoon rattled loudly with each stirring spin.
They clattered at night with a bony clink,
Scaring the teacups with each eerie wink.
But when dinner was served, they all lost their fright—
For skeleton cutlery is just too light!
There once was a spoon who tried way too hard,
He practiced his scooping out in the yard.
He’d spin in the soup, do flips in the stew,
But splashed it all over—oh, what a to-do!
He’d bend into shapes, try to twirl like a fork,
Even tried cutting—oh, silly old dork!
“Just scoop and relax,” said the wise old ladle,
But the spoon kept on, though clearly unable.
In the end, with a sigh, he gave up the race,
And simply scooped ice cream with style and grace!
It’s October and that means it’s time to get ready for Halloween! We here at the Cutlery Review love Halloween and are so pleased that there are so many choices for Scary Halloween Flatware.
We have seen skeletons and other bones but never Witch’s brooms! So clever and very handy for cleaning up your plate I imagine? The Ma Fete Halloween Cutlery Set from The Gap is fun. This 24 piece plastic set consists of: 8 forks, 8 spoons, 8 knives.
On Halloween night, with a clatter and clang,
The cutlery drawer threw a spooky fang-dang!
The spoons wore masks, the forks had fangs,
The knives danced around, in eerie gangs.
The spatula shrieked, “I’m a ghostly delight!”
While the whisk spun webs, giving spoons a fright.
But when the clock struck twelve, they all calmed down,
And went back to the drawer in the quiet town.
Summer is almost over and it’s time to get back to school. Or back to the office for that matter. And we here at the Cutlery Review have learned that something you really need to have in that backpack or briefcase is a set of Bring Your Own Cutlery (BYOC). If you are sick of plastic or bamboo forks that may have may as well been made of cardboard then you really need to pack your own flatware. We have horrible memories of trying to use a plastic fork and knife to cut a steak at a BBQ once. Everything broke including our patience.
We suggest you carry this ZOKU Pocket Utensil Set. This “3 in 1” set of fork, spoon, and knife utensils fit together for in a leak-proof case made from made from food safe polypropylene. The utensils are made of dishwasher safe 18/8 stainless steel. Each are just over 6 inches long. Highly rated and at a great price. You need to have this functional flatware in your bag.
