Someday I'll hate plates
And brisket
And biscuits,
But not today.
Can a borry your spoon?

We're getting advanced as human beings,
Repressing out appetites,
Repressing our feelings,
And yet, claiming that we aren't.

We're going to learn to travel in spaceships
To destinations out there at very great distances,
And we're going to behave as we travel all that time.

We're not going to eat meat or beans.
We're not going to crave sex.
We're not going to do anything untoward.
But not today.
Can I borry your spork?
