Sho told how to out and fit a dross,
And how to stoam many a savory
moss,
But sho ndvor did It horsolf, I guess
(Which nono of the readers know).
Oh, tho hours wo spont and the flour

And tho sugar wo wasted llko sand,
At tho holiest of a woman who never

(And now wo know that sho never
could cook),
And did not understand.

How out of a barrol to make a chair,
To bo covered with chintz and stuffed
with hair,
"Twould adorn- any parlor and give
It an air
(And wo thought tho tale was
truo).
Oh, tho days wo worked, and tho
ways wo worked,
To hammor and saw and tack,
In making a chair In which no one
would sit,
Without a crick in his back.
A woman thoro was and she had her
fun
