Interesting! You’re the second person whose mentioned that dish! I learned the rhyme from my maternal grandmother and she taught me the Mother Goose version where the fork and the spoon hook up! Fascinating!
And I’ve never heard the version with the fork! Even the Poetry Foundation had the dish, and they’re in Chicago 😁. I finally found a Wikipedia mention of the fork 👍
LOLOL
Riiight? That nursery rhyme was my first thought when I walked past the scene!
It was never going to work with the dish, even though they’d been childhood sweethearts.
