HOME WAS NEVER LIKE THIS.

Since mother’s bought a cookbook# The grub don’t taste the same An" everything'we get to eat His some outlandish name. I'd rather have the simple food She Vised to feed Us on Some side meat an' pertators B’iled With their jackets on. Green apple pie an’ doughnuts Is good enough for me, With griddle cakes an' honey When the parson comes to tea. I'd like a good old pot roast— I wouldn't care how tough— For my jaws -don’t get no exercise On this here fancy stuff. I don’t believe it's nourislun'. A nun can’t hold enough To keep him gpin' half a day Of this newfangled stuff I don’t know much 'bout cookin’. An’ perhaps ma ain’t to blame. But since she bought that cookbook The grub don’t taste the same. —Buffalo News
