A June Bride

A June Bride The young bride cannot broil steak, As she'll confess; And biscuits that she tres to bake Burn more or less. At things she knows just how to cook, She's glad to drudge; Will proudly take her little book And mix some fudge. Her taffy candy makes hit, Her angel food, As all her girlish friends admit, Is very good And so when steaks or biscuits burn, It's up to hub To act the man, and gladly turn To other grub.
