LEGACY

 

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.
