Not a Ten-in-One Fool


Picked up a little gem of a knife
For just $2.95 - not much in life
It has all sorts of things which might
Come in handy sometime day or night

Apart from a regular large knife blade
There's many other tools, but no spade
Never-the-less, just about everything else
All kinds of things which together do jell

A saw blade, scissors and a screwdriver
Bottle opener, can opener and piercer
Corkscrew, crosshair, and wire stripper
Plus the most important tool, a real ripper

Something you'll need once you've got
Them all pulled out from the body slots
Because you'll probably have broken nails
Having tried hard to open them all and failed

The very most important tool of the whole lot
Is a thing you'll be more pleased to see than not
It is quite simply a nail file which you will need
To put your nails back together if they don't bleed

For any Swiss army knife or other ten-in-one tool
Will give such trouble to you as you try hard to pull
Out all of the various implements housed in its pool
Once you get to the nail file - you won't feel like a fool
