“There once was a teacher of long ago staying at a certain house.”
There was once a teacher of long ago staying at a certain house. When he was at dinner he thought the woman of the house gave him more fat bacon than he like without any lean. So he addressed her in this fashion.
I'm not so low, so mean,
of flat,
But I know that lean should
go with fat.
Though it suits the taste of
Pat or Mick,
What beasts may eat don't
make them sick.
