The Key To A Cake



If you use 'clef' for 'knife' in France,

(as you could do, as 'a key'
and even 'a spanner' can be 'une clef' over there) ,

so you won't be given a key by a joker,

(or a spanner) ,

when you ask for a knife to cut a cake,
say, 'Un clefgateau avez-vous? '

(Even then you might be given by a joker
a list of ingredients and a how-to-do.)
