You can sharpen it or break the point, trap it in
the door fasten it behind your ear or tap it on
the floor use it as a walking stick (if youre
very small).
dig a hole to plant a seed, tap it on a wall use
it as a handy splint for rabbits broken
legs stir your coffee stir your tea stir up
all the dregs!

• Drop it from a table top,
• pop it in a case
• use it as a lollystick,
• send it up in space!
• Two will give you chopsticks,
• one could pick a lock
• bore a hole and thread one
• to darn a hole-y sock

These are just a few ideas, there must be
hundreds more but meantime, trap it, snap it,
flap it, TAP IT ON THE FLOOR!
