For Want of a Fork
Gabriel Peart-3rd Grade
Core Knowledge Elementary School, Verona, WI
February 2010
For want of a fork
the spaghetti was lost.
For want of spaghetti
the meatball was lost.
For want of a meatball
the plate was lost.
For want of a plate
the eater was lost.
For want of an eater
the cook was lost.
For want of a cook
the restaurant was lost.
And all for the want of a fork!
