Final Friday Feature-Knives Out, Mystery


I have been known to toss out a spoon, or two.
They always return, when, not if I do.
When I toss out the dishwater into the backyard rubbles.
Never,  have I ever tossed out more than two, and for Seven Knives to go missing at is really a LOT!
In fact, 7 is almost all we've Got.
We only own 8 butter knives, 8 is all that we own,
I sat to Beau, do you think you can find them, if I pay you with a bone?
Seven of Eight knives went missing, you see.
I was in a dither, yelling out loud where could seven knives be?
The first place I searched was the kitchen drawer,where they have been for 38 years.
This is no lie, I was frantic and  in tears.
I cried because the knives can be replaced, but my memory can NOT.
This 81 year old brain is all I have got.
Dont' get upset, or feel despair,
because the THIRD time I checked the drawer they were THERE!
UNDER THE 12 TEASPOONS!

I say, UNDER 12 SPOONS, I have absolutely no memory of LIFTING 12 SPOONS out and putting 7 knives under them and putting the spoons back.
Since I am the only human that can walk and do this, and the dog has no hands to open a drawer or hold spoons and knives, I KNOW I did this, but HOW?
I did spend a while figuring out why we have 8 KNIVES and 12 SPOONS and the pattern is the same. I finally remembered, I bought two sets, same pattern, one was 8 of everything. the other was FOUR of everything. That was 40 years ago, so WHY can I remember THAT? and not THIS?
Who let the Knives Out and put them back IN?
Its a Mystery to ME!
