- Pheasant is pleasant, of course,
- And terrapin, too, is tasty,
- Lobster I freely endorse,
- In pate or patty or pasty.
- But there's nothing the matter with butter,
- And nothing the matter with jam,
- And the warmest greetings I utter
- To the ham and the yam and the clam.
- For they're food,
- All food,
- And I think very fondly of food.
- Through I'm broody at times
- When bothered by rhymes,
- I brood
- On food.

+ You cannot eat breakfast all day,
+ Nor is it the act of a sinner,
+ When breakfast is taken away,
+ To turn his attention to dinner;
+ And it's not in the range of belief,
+ To look upon him as a glutton,
+ Who, when he is tired of beef,
+ Determines to tackle the mutton.
+ Ah! But this I am willing to say,
+ If it will appease her sorrow,
+ I'll marry this lady today,
+ And I'll marry the other tomorrow!

+ Now for sugar, -- nay, our plan
+ Tolerates no work of man.
+ Hurry, then, ye golden bees;
+ Fetch your clearest honey, please,
+ Garnered on a Yorkshire moor,
+ While the last larks sing and soar,
+ From the heather-blossoms sweet
+ Where sea-breeze and sunshine meet,
+ And the Augusts mask as Junes, --
+ Eleanor makes macaroons!
