You can sharpen it
or break the point,
trap it in the door;
fasten it behind your ear
or tap it on the floor;
use it as a walking stick
(if you’re very small).
dig a hole to plant a seed,
tap it on a wall;
use it as a handy splint
for rabbit’s broken legs;
stir your coffee
stir your tea –
stir up all the dregs!
Drop it from a table top,
pop it in a case;
use it as a lollystick,
send it up in space!
Two will give you chopsticks,
one could pick a lock;
bore a hole and thread one
to darn a hole-y sock
These are just a few ideas,
there must be hundreds more –
but meantime, trap it, snap it, flap it,
TAP IT ON THE FLOOR!
