 The following lines were written by Myron E. Cables:
 In piping times of peace like this,
 Fen in ecstatic hours of bliss,
 Good sound advice comes not amisS
 Fer since this rough and tough old world Out into radiant space was hurled,
 All poets from time to time
 Have oft declared in truthful rhyme, Howe'er to rapture he is prone
 Man cannot live on love alone.
 Tho love is sweet. and very sweet,
 All mortals find they ve got to eat.
 So, let Cupid gaily fly around,
 And buzz his wings with pleasant sound, Cold pork and cabbage must abound! So, here's a bright new carving set.
 The thing for hungry fOlkS you bet! Take it, twill save you many spat, Fen tho the roast be leanlOr fat.
 Twill carve all kinds of fish and meat That suffering mortas have to eat.
 Yea, every thing we mOrtals kill
 And with their carcaSSes our StOmachs fill. Tho mortal man may get enough,
 Yet steak is often mighty tough.
 And likewise chickens, turkeys, too, And ducks that sailed the azure blue. So, should the sky at times be murky, You can carve the tough old turkey; Avoid much strenuous matrimonial adOs By carving roast pigs and boiled hams, too i; Thus with the useful carving knife, Prevent hot words and angry strife. May health and wealth, long life and happi-
 ness.
 And every good that mortals can possess Be thine thrO' time and all eternity.
