GOOD MISTRESS Brown, patient vile.
Lived in air of constant strife
No cook she got could he induced to
She yielded to each stern demand.

Cooked many things the Browns would

Because the cook each night or 80
Must feed and entertain a beau
And had carte blanche on food and light

And vowed: mo more I'll search the

For serving maids for laundresses and
cooks
No more I'll pay the fees they claim
And meekly gently sign my name
