“After Dinner Sit a While; After

by (1874–1936)

Listen in the reader

After luncheon sit awhile, 'Tis an admirable plan; After dinner walk a mile— But make certain that you can. (Were you not this maxim taught;— "Good is Wrought by want of Port.")

After dinner think on this; Join the ladies with a smile, And remember that a Miss Is as good as any mile. (Thus you may be led to feel What Amis felt for Amile.)

Never fear of being shy At the houses where you dine; You'll recover by-and-bye, With the second glass of wine; And can recognize with bliss That a Meal is not amiss.
