In the cold and polished kingdom of Metalia, she walks ominously with steel spatulas as shoulders,
and tongs and forks adorn her hair.
With cleavers, paring, and boning knives as nails,
she is seen wearing clothes of plates and boots of pails.
So is her plight!
Legend has it that she threw spoons at a sage who begged for a meal.
He cursed her and now she is covered in stainless steel.
She walks stiffly and sounds harsh,
Whether it be on hard ground or dense marsh.
They call her Utnesilka!
And fear her tensile strength and hardness.
However, Utensilka is nimble in mind.
She uses her predicament to her gain
and cooks and cooks, in the sun and in the rain.
2 minutes is what it takes
Her spatulas, forks, turners and mincers, all work simultaneously to impress the queen and her soldiers.
The people of Metalia love her food.
She now walks in peacefully with her brood.
