A Spoon for Stein
a curve is a centre if you turn it a round over which
you don't let in substance or do using it using
it in a baby mess throw a curve out of which came
came substance steal a spoon steel it feeling
filling the curve is an ending end the handle and
mush the baby out of a stainless mess a stain
is not an object out of a spoon it curves round
around its filling is a centre throw it a spoon
is a missile hit and miss a spoon a mush onto and
of banana rice pear chicken potato apple
again spoon spoony tune let it go throw
