(Twenty-seven cases of ptomaine
poisoning, all but one traceable to the eating of cream puffs or chocolate
éclairs, have been discovered in Syracuse, N.Y. – News)
O,
O, what startling news are these?
What shall milady do?
Pray
let us hope, by all that’s great,
This message isn’t true!
What
joy is left for maiden fair,
How could she find enough
To
eat alas! Were she to pass
The dainty whipped cream puff?
O,
what would birthday party be,
Or dinner matinee,
Without
the chocolate éclair
Or creamy puff display?
O,
take away the chop and steak,
Cut out the pork and bean,
But
baker man do all you can
To keep the cream puff clean!
