Her chafinn plsh.

When Fanchon to her chafng dish
Repairs and lights the alcohol,
We look for miracles and wish
That fate may let us share them all.
Though not too gluttOny inclined,
We laugh with gastronomic glee,
And each lays plans with secret mind
TO each tid-bit enough for three.
For Fanchon is a cook supreme
OF dainties which the dish may
hold;
A gracious goddess of the steam
Whose bounties please us more
than gold,
Her flnnan-haddies and croquets
Are poems of deliciOusness;
Her oysters and her omelets
Achieve the climax Of success.
And yet I wonder, can it be
That Fanchon's skill is so unique?
I know what SAVIOR all for me
Are her bright eyes and glowing
cheek
Well Fanchon, cater to the men
And to the maids whom men de-
sire,
But don't get scorched, young lady,
when
You're playing with the dainty fire.
