Trending Pointless

I admit it

I am

not the sharpest knife

in the drawer.

Actually I hail from

a whole set

of dull knives.

In fact, the sharpest one

is currently afflicted with

a pitting problem. No cure

missing some stainless parts

if you know what I mean.

It is surprising

shocking really

that not even one

sibling in the drawer

has an ounce of steel  

or any hidden alloy

of any cutting edge value.

Apparently
when the big guy upstairs

was doling out sharpeners

we all

skipped class.

I must admit-- I’m worried  

the makeup exam

appears to involve

massive pumpkins

and no one’s trained

in carving

except of course

our distant cousin

an ancient

serrated edge

with a long handle

sketching a subliminal

outline.
