A Clipped Conversation 2

The bulldog clip and tiny child
on shoulder carried, meek and mild,
approached Sir Egg Cup and enquired
“Can you help, sir? We’re lost and tired.”

Answer Egg Cup gave them none,
the spoon inside his head had done
such damage when it stirred his brain,
and sent his knowledge down the drain.

You may have seen these things before
I wrote of them in days of yore
now much has changed and sad to say
Sir Egg Cup’s spoon has gone away.
