Garden Sass

Oh. luscious greens! young beets
and beans. fresh peas and new po-
taters! With fork and spoon,
morn, eve and noon, we push
them in our craters! The pale wax
bean is good, ween, and succu-
lent and tender; the carrot red is
thoroughbred, the onions clothed
in splendor. When noontime
comes my stomach hums-at least
l have that notion; and as | throw
the greens below it trembles
with emotion. Sometimes it
stalls at Goldfish balls, and balks
at beef or mutton, at corn beet
hash and kindred trash. and hints
that I'm glutton. But l may
pass down garden sass until I'm
tired of chewing; my stomach
makes no cranky breaks, it still is
up and doing. Too much we eat
of pie and meat, the doctors OFT
inform us; in summer days we
stupid jays devour the things that
warm us. Fresh garden sass.
good sparrowgrass. the onion.
beet and lettuce-these are the
things to eat, by jings! then
health will not forget us. So let
us swat the garden plot, and rob
it of its pleasures: oh, let US feed
on yarb and weed, and taste the
simpler pleasures.
