English poem
“After Dinner Sit a While; After
by Harry Graham (1874–1936)
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.
