The important thing about a spoon is that you eat with it.

It's like a little shovel,
You hold it in your hand,
You can put it in your mouth,
It isn't flat,
It's hollow,
and it spoons things up.

But the important thing about a spoon is that you eat with it.

But the important thing about a daisy is that it is white.
