A LITTLE SLICE o. LIFE.

A LITTLE SLICE o. LIFE.
! went with a friend
To a cheap" restaurant,
A poor mans" restaurant,
OF which there are many
Here and there.
The management Of this place
Harangues its customers
On the subject of patriotism
And food administration;
And when the management
Gets the customers excited
About helping win the war,
1t charges them 10 cents for
Two small pieces of toast,
Thereby making a dollar
On every loaf of bread.
For a piece of pumpkin pie,
Not extra good pumpkin pie,
Just restaurant pumpkin pie,
The charge Is 20 cents.
With six cuts to the pie,
Every pie brings in $1.20,
And the whole pie costs
Not more than Is cents.
With everything else
In proportion, l figured
That 1t would pay a poor man"
TO eat at sherry's or Del's.
