First Call for Shortcake



O, what care we for eggs and ham
     Or meats of aviation price?
We have no use for beef or lamb,
     With shortcake 30 cents a slice.

Why worry over prices high,
     O’er luxuries, or monthly rents?
Why try to buy a piece of pie
     With shortcake only 30 cents?



March 11, 1910
