<h3>BY BERT LESTON TAYLOR</h3>
<p><span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the sirup's on the flapjack and the coffee's in the pot;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the fly is in the butter—where he'd rather be than not;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the cloth is on the table, and the plates are on the cloth;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the salt is in the shaker and the chicken's in the broth;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the cream is in the pitcher and the pitcher's on the tray,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">And the tray is on the sideboard when it isn't on the way;</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">When the rind is on the bacon, and likewise upon the cheese,</span><br/>
<span style="margin-left: 1em;">Then I somehow feel inspired to do a lot of rhymes like these.</span><br/>
