More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE

NO DANGER OF A FOOD
SHORTAGE
In the future, we learn,
When men hunger for cake
Or avidly yearn S
For a porterhouse steak
A tablet, well chewed
Will soon conquer their greed,
And supply all the food
That they need.
For the lamb with green peas
And Virginia ham
And the Camembert cheese
And the waffles and jam,
And the muffin and gem
SO delicious served warm
Can be taken in chem
ical form.
Delightful to taste
Is the food that we buy
But most of it's waste
And the cost is too high.
1t is bad for us hot
And just fresh from the fire,
Carbohydrates are what
We require.
And these in small pills
We can easily take
And not run UP bills
For broiled lobster# and Steak.
But when menus so scant
Our great chemists have found
We trust that we, shan't
Be around!
