The fork scraped the knife
Teeth begging for a feed.
'Slice it up now', the silver utensil demanded.
'Let me stab it, kill it, taste it.'
The knife refused at first,
'Why should I?' he spoke politely.
'What favours have you done for me?'
The fork moaned in displeasure.
He hated being made to wait.
Oh, how he longed
To drink the juices of the steak.
'Stop teasing', the fork whispered sharply.
'Slice it before it goes cold!'
The knife sneered at the fork's anxiety
And at last gave in;
'Ah, very well then.
Let the feast begin!'

The speech was orginally in italic but Ap won't let me do this so speech marks will have to do.. Enjoy!

Haha! I like it. It seems vaguely sexual. This is a very fun poem. I really enjoyed reading it. I've been having a bad week and this helped to brighten up my day. Killer write. It totally rocks. Peace and love.

I think what trysha might mean by the double meaning is how even though us as humans consider ourselves as sophisticated, peaceful beings; the fancy dinner party as an example. However, the brutality undermined in the poem speaks of otherwise.
Once again Annie thrills us with her almost strange originality, and can make even the mundane interesting.

I'm not sure of a double meaning..what are your thoughts?

It was a task we had to undergo in creative writing. The poem had to have the subject of dinner and had to 'be tight'. Thanks for you comment!
