The executors' inventory revealed
King's painter François-Hubert Drouais
Left behind an army of spoons each of which
Knew its place, as did François-Hubert.
Aside from a brigade of miscellaneous spoons
Willing to do almost anything there were
Soup spoons, table spoons, tea spoons,
Coffee spoons, dessert spoons, salt spoons,
Olive spoons, gravy spoons, sugar spoons
Jam spoons and one spoon that scorned
To touch anything but mustard.
