"MY OLD PALETTE KNIFE"

 

    

 

NOW I'M BACK TO NORMAL FRIENDS IT'S DIFFICULT WHAT TO WRITE.

 

AS I DON'T LEAD AN EXCTIING LIFE LIKE I DID ON MY HOLIDAYS RIGHT. HE-HE.

 

SO I THOUGHT TODAY I'D TELL YOU ABOUT MY OLD PALETTE KNIFE.

 

THE ONE I'VE HAD FOR YEARS NOW WELL ALL MY MARRIED LIFE.

 

FIRST HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING OLD IN THE HOME THAT YOU JUST LOVE.

 

SOMETHING YOU WOULDN'T PART WITH GIVE AWAY OR WOULD NOT SHOVE.

 

IN THE GARBAGE BIN BECAUSE TO YOU IT MEANS SO MUCH.

 

SOMETHING THAT IS USEFUL AND SOMETHING THAT YOU TOUCH.

 

WELL LET ME TELL YOU NOW MY FRIENDS ABOUT MY PALETTE KNIFE.

 

MY MOTHER GAVE IT TO ME WHEN I BECAME A WIFE.

 

SOMEHOW NO MATTER HOW I TRIED I FOUND I COULDN'T PEEL .

 

POTATOES OR ANYTHING ELSE WITHOUT MOTHERS KNIFE TO FEEL.

 

WHEN A GIRL I'D CUT THE  BREAD AND ONTO EVERY SLICE I'D  TWIRL.

 

A BIG KNOB OF BEST BUTTER WITH THIS KNIFE IT SEEMED TO SWIRL..

 

THE BUTTER SEEMED TO SPREAD SO EASY WITH THIS PALETTE KNIFE.

 

I OFTEN WONDERED IF I'D MISS IT WHEN I WAS A WIFE.

 

SO WHEN I DID GET MARRIED I MISSED IT REALY BAD.

 

THEN MOTHER CAME ONE DAY AND ASKED ME WHY I WAS SO SAD.

 

I TOLD HER I'D TRIED EVERYTHING TO PEEL THINGS WHEN I COOKED.

 

AND HOW I STRUGGLED ON BUT ON HER PALETTTE KNIFE WAS HOOKED.

 

SO SHE WENT ACROSS THE ROAD TO HOME AND BROUGHT TO ME HER KNIFE.

 

SAID HERE IT'S YOURS NOW KATHLEEN IV'E HAD THIS ALL MY LIFE.

 

I WAS OVER THE MOON MY FRIENDS  I POPPED IT IN MY DRAWER.

 

THINKING GREAT I WON'T BE STRUGGLING TO PEEL THINGS ANYMORE.

 

IT'S THE HANDIEST LITTLE THING I OWN AND ITS GOT LOTS OF USE.

 

IT FILLS HOLES UP WITH POLLYFILLER  IT'S A SCREWDRIVER TO REPLACE A FUSE. HE-HE.

 

BUT NOW MY PRIZE POSESSION DOESN'T SIT IN THE DRAWER ANYMORE.

 

I HIDE IT ONLY WHERE I KNOW FOR ANY KIND OF CHORE.

 

AS ONE TIME YES MY PARTNER HE USED IT IN THE SHED.

 

FOR  SOME KIND OF A JOB AND THEN HE BROKE OFF IT'S BONE HEAD. AWWWWWWW

 

I WAS TERRIBLY UPSET AND HE THOUGHT THAT I'D GONE MAD. HE-HE

 

BUT I THOUGHT HE MEANT HE'D BROKE THE KNIFE AND I WAS REALY SAD.

 

OH !!  NO NO ONLY THE HANDLE  I REPLIED WELL THAT WON'T DO.

 

I'M GOING TO FIND A PLACE FOR IT AND HIDE AWAY FROM YOU.   HE-HE.

 

WELL IF HE BROKE THIS KNIFE I TELL YOU I WOULD BE SO LOST.

 

AS NOTHING CAN COMPARE TO IT NO AT ANY COST.  HE-HE.

 

IT SKIMS AROUND MY BAKING BOWL AND DOESN'T LEAVE A LICK.

 

OF ANYTHING ON THE BOWL AT ALL IT  EMPTIES  IN A TICK.

 

DON'T YOU THINK IT'S STRANGE HOW WE JUST GET SO USED TO THINGS.

 

AND SOMETIMES HOW SUCH WORTHLESS BITS JOY TO US THEY BRING.

 

SO MY FRIENDS HAVE YOU GOT ANYTHING THAT YOU LIKE TO USE.

 

WHICH YOUV'E HAD FOR YEARS LIKE ME THATS USEFUL AND WELL BRUISED.

 

IF YOU HAVE THEN TELL ME IN YOUR COMMENT DOWN BELOW.

 

AS I AM OFTEN CURIOUS AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW.

 

IT'S  WORTH IT'S WEIGHT IN GOLD TO ME MY OLD PALLETTE KNIFE .

 

I'M HOPING IT CONTINUES TO SERVE ME ALL MY MY LIFE.

 

I'M SURE IT WILL BE WITH ME UNTIL THE END OF TIME.

 

THIS SIMPLY PALETTE  KNIFE OF MINE THATS IN

 

                       "MY SIMPLE RHYME"   HE-HE HE.
