How did that happen?

On Friday I went out to meet An old friend, for a bite to eat At the cafe we were able To order food to our table Knives and forks to us given And a spoon with number written

However, in a little bit My cutlery, oh where was it? Kindly they brought to us some more I didn’t eat with a bare paw! And thus, I proceeded to munch My way through all my yummy lunch

So, it was much later that day At home, packing my things away Right at the bottom of my bag I spied something, ’twas not a tag Embarrassingly I did see The set of missing cutlery

How they got there, I cannot guess But I knew I had to confess I told the friend whom I had met She said she knew she’d seen two sets Later I went and took them back So they did not cutlery lack!
