BUTTER AND BOSH.
["Many customers who want Margarine will not consent to buy it under that name, but insist on its being called 'Butter.'"—Daily Paper.]
Oh, Wisdom, surely here your words you waste
On men who consciously deceive their taste;
Who cheating self are blindest when they've seen,
And call that Butter which is Margarine.
"Give me," 'tis thus their sentiments they utter,
"Firkins of Bosh, but label them as Butter.
Who cares for honest names? they're all my eye.
Decipiatur qui vult decipi."
