Knife and Fork Degree - 2nd Edition

Masonic Knife and Fork Degree Jacquard-woven silk tie, 2nd edition. Absolutely tongue-in-cheek. ;-)

I don't attend the meetings,
for I've not the time to spare.
But every time they have a feast,
you'll surely find me there.
I cannot help with the degrees,
for I do not know the work.
But I can applaud the speaker,
and handle a knife and fork.
I'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.
