The Cost of Raw Materials.

I know a fair and gentle maid Who tells me she has learned to bake: She says she would not be afraid To match the biscuits she can make With those that mother made; the pie I She makes is most delicious, too; I Her charms appeal to me, and I Am sure that she'd tie sweet and true. I know that she can brtjll a steak. Her doughnuts oft have made me glad: Once with a piece of anget cake She cheered me when my heart was sad; But she, alas, ts not for me; Her waist I ne’er may hope to hook; I could not buy the things that she Would wish, if she were mine, to cook.
