    "Here, dearest Eve," he exclaims, "here is food." "Well,"
    answered she, with the germ of a housewife stirring within her,
    "we have been so busy to-day that a picked-up dinner must serve."

Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot read more

Man is a carnivorous production,
And must have meals, at least one meal a day;
He cannot live, like woodcocks, upon suction,
But, like the shark and tiger, must have prey;
Although his anatomical construction
Bears vegetables, in a grumbling way,
Your laboring people think beyond all question,
Beef, veal, and mutton better for digestion.
