Let’s
face it, you learned from your people,
And
I learned from mine. This doesn’t make
Us
right or wrong. Well, in some cases it may.
Mostly
our differences will not come up as
A
topic for discussion at the dinner table.
Politics
and religion aside, I could, however,
Take
exception with the way you handle a
Knife
and fork while slicing that piece of
Meat
off the bone. I prefer picking up the
Chop
with my hands, and ripping directly with
My
teeth in order to get at those hard to get to
Pieces
of flesh while you meticulously struggle
With
your utensils like a doctor performing
Microscopic
surgery. I see both ways of
Approaching
the problem at hand. Your way
Certainly
seems more fitting and appropriate
When
dining with the sociably elite. But for
Just
the two of us eating alone, I choose to
Launch
my attack tearing away at the meat with
My
teeth directly from the bone. No need to be
Alarmed
or displeased, for you see I happen to
Come
from a long line of ill-mannered and slov-
Enly
beasts. And too, may I remind, you’re seated
At
my table; I was the one who invited you.
