English poem
Inexpensive Guests
by Ring Lardner
I wonder how 'twould make you feel, My fellow food providers, To have as guests at ev'ry meal Three--count 'em, three--outsiders.
Well, that's the case with me, but still I don't complain or holler, For, strange to say, the groc'ry bill Has not gone up a dollar.
These guests of ours, to make it brief, Can't really chew or swallow; They're merely dolls, called Indian Chief, And Funny Man, and Rollo.
