HUMOROUS CUPS
When Pa Eats GRAPES.

Mother says she wouldn't for the world
have others see him.
Sister says it's most improper too.
Father says he doesn't care at all how
much we gee him;
He'll do exactly what he wants to do.
Mother says it's really one of fathers
greatest sins.
Sisters face takes many disappearing
forms and shapes
AS she watches his coarse method" of
disposing of the skins
When father starts to eat bunch of
grapes.
With his elbows on the table and a plate
beneath his chin
And bunch of purple beauties in his
hand
He Is deaf TO all the comment as the
sweet fruit he tucks in.
And he cares not where the empty skins
may land
Aunt Eliza says such table manners really
are fright
ant Grapes
Her apron up before it every morning,
noon and night
When father starts to eat a bunch of
grapes
He can handle green corn nicely. and he's
noiseless with his soup.
On celery he peacefully can chew.
But ma says he's like member of some
common circus troupe
Who never has been taught the thing to
do
When the Concords are in season then she
shudders and she signs,
From the table very quickly She escapes,
For she doesn't care to linger--as fact
1t isn't wise
When father starts to eat a bunch of
grapes.
