Ivory Fork

What a charming little poem to go with this ivory fork, another treasure from my Grandfather's house. The box is really old and beat up, a remnant of an elegant lifestyle that sadly does not exist these days. Imagine having a special ivory serving fork to put that slice of lemon in your tea?

 

"When you serve lemon with your tea

Use this fork of ivory.

It's just the thing for pickles, too

The tricks of acid no harm can do.

 

"I" is for Ivory.
