more than a guide to the features, as
the expression has been entirely changed.

BELINDA's CANS

When 60 to lunch with Belinda,
With mock turtle soup we begin. 80
It comes readymade from the grocer's,
All ready to serve from the tin.
The mayonnaise comes in bottle; &,
The baked beans and bacon are canned;
Even hash and plum pudding. Belinda
Has cans Ct both dainties on hand.
And when we have finished our luncheon,
We sit on Belinda's divan,
And listen to graphophone music, /.
That comes, as it were, by the can.
Once might ruled the world, in the ages
When sheer brutal force had its way;
But gone are those times gone forever,
Tis the can rules the world Of today.
