I showed the child the wooden spoon
She laughed and said;-
“That is a modernist
symbol of oppression
whilst you may view it with nostalgia
using it on me
will result in legal action
and withdrawal of your grandparent privileges
I will also be alienated
But that is nothing new"
I bit hard on the spoon
to vent my dissatisfaction
with the post modernist regime
resolving myself to continued celibacy
to prevent a recurrence
