Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 101, September 26, 1891
The Project Gutenberg eBook, Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 101, September 26, 1891, by Various, Edited by F. C. Burnand
The German Waiter waxeth fat; he grows exceeding proud;
He is a shade more kicksome than can fairly be allowed.
The British Press goes out to dine—the Teuton, they relate,
Throws down his napkin like a gage, and swears he will not wait.
Now there are many proverbs—some are good and some are not—
But the Teuton was misled who cried, Strike while the entrée 's hot!
Like readers with no book-marks, all the rebels lost their place,
And vanished out of Chelsea in their dress-suits and disgrace.
And I'm told that there were murmurings and curses deep and low
In darksome public-houses in the road of Pimlico,
