An Irony

One was given a silver spoon With which he should eat. "Ahhhhhh! He said. This would make My dinner the more sweet." He sat himself at the table, Expecting with a THRILL. He ate, and ate, and ate. He ate till he was ill. Another was given a shovel With which he should dig. "Myyyyyy, " He said. "Now I can plant My garden seeds and twigs." So, off he went to the field To cultivate the ground, Where he sowed and fertilized With manure all around. And so it was, at harvest time, He had food to spare. Happy, healthy, and blessed— He was thrilled to share.
