His wife ate nothing but prunes;

The Butler drank quarts

Of his master's ports,

And the Cook ran away with the spoons.

Before the War.

Master's at his broker's thinking of a flutter;

Mistress, she's out golfing, trying her new putter;

Cook is at a matinee, laughing at the songs;

Why keep a cook when you can feed at restaurongs?

During the War.
