You don't need a special knife to peas if you're using honey. It would
make the peas stick to the knife - at least long enough to get them to

It doesn't make much sense, given that peas are hard even with a fork,
unless you realize that there was such a thing as a "pea knife", with

I hadn't heard of it until my own children were learning to read and we
were delighted to find it in a book of rhymes.
I have always had difficulty memorizing 'lines' but this one I do
