Hooverizing.

We're Hooycrizing at my house
ecouomy's the word
We used to chew up chicken, now
we never have q bird
We once inudgcd in porterhousc,
but now the time is ripe
For hauling down the beefstcak
sign and pushing up the tripe ;
Time was when butter graced our
board-alas, our butter now
Can never trayc its origin to any
blooded COW,
And coffee Purcst lava
once was none too good for
me,
But I've become accustomed to the
tang OF chickorcc!
We're Hooverizing proper!
Take, for instance daddy's
shirts,
That mothers making over in ma
tcrial for skirts!
And where the boy once had suit
of clothes each second week
He's patching up with daddy's pants
inherited, so to speak
We've eggless cakes and eggless
mullins, eggless odds and
ends,
And so we're cutting out each thing
that to indulgence tends.
But what ! want to get somewhere
If | am not too brash,
IS some good buying medium tc
substitute for cash
