THE FORK AND KNIFE DEGREE

I do not attend the meetings,
For [ve not the time to spare,
But every time they have a feast
You will surely find me there.
I cannot help with the degrees,
For I do not know the work,
But I can applaud the speakers,
And handle a knife and fork.
[m so rusty in the ritual,
That it seems like Greek to me,
But practice has made me perfect,
In the Knife and Fork degree.

It came out of a book called "The Lighter Side of Masonry"
A collection of Masonic wit, humor, poetry, and thoughts.
You can borrow the book if you want to.
It even has a couple stories about DeMolay. I
haven't read much, but so far, it's a pretty good book.
