 Myron E. Cables:
 In piping times of peace like this, Fen in ecStatic hours of bliss, Good sound advice comes not amisS. Fer since tbis rough and tough old world Out into radiant space was hurled, All poets from time to time
 Have oft declared in truthful rhyme, Howeer to rapture he is prone 1 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 bright new carving set. The thing for hungry folks, you bet Take it, twill save you many spat, Fen tho the roast be )eanlor fat. Twill carve all kinds of fish and meat That suffering mortals have to eat. Yea, everything 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, tOt Thus with the useful carving knife, Prevent hot words and angry strife May health and wealth, long life and happ ness. ,
 And every good that mOrtals can possess Be thine thrO' tine and all eternity. III philip TOpac Misc Holon TOnoce M
