THE WAITRESS.


She comes, she comes upon my yearning sight.
Like friendly beacon shining thro the night.
What tho thy hands and feet be large-thy head
And countenance alike be fiery reds
My joy at seeing you is past control
Thou token of plenty TO my famished soull
She comes to learn my lightest within or wish,
And murmurs.
'Souporfishs"
Daughter of Erin, skittish are thy ways;
Perchance my meal you'll bring some OF these
days.
Oh, why procrastinate? Why, why so slow,
Art waiting for the ham and eggs to grow?
At length She comes again upon the scene.
And beams upon me with a smile serene
Like champagne bottle popping out its cork
She shouts out,
'BeeforporkS''
Oh, fair one, tho no drinking man am l.
1 fain some mild, light beverage would try.
Not only hungry am l. but athirst:
And could drink until my hide would burst.
Oh, for ice water, milk or lemonade,
Some cool drink bring me, Oh thou lovely maidl
At last she sees my signal, and far off
Shouts at me-
'Teaorcoff?"
Come come, thou shy. coy maid. hear my appeal;
Have come to the end of this, my meal9
Is this small ration all am to draw?
Must famine's tooth forever t1 me gnaw?
You think I've had enough-not so-not so!
All, little of a boarder's wants you knowl
If you'd but listen-if you only would!
She answers
"Pieorpudi"
