When you tip the ketchup bottle,

First will come a little, then a lot'll.

I always eat peas with honey,

I've done it all my life;

It may taste kind of funny

But it sure keeps them on the knife!

One Egg

It's hardly enough for breakfast. It isn't enough when you bake.

It isn't sufficient to a make meringue, or cookies, or even cake.

It doesn't go far in a salad, though you devil it, slice it or chop it.

But it covers the floor from wall to wall if ever you should drop it.

Methuselah

Methuselah ate what he found on his plate,

     And never as people do now;

Did he note the account of the calorie count.

     He ate it because it was chow.

He wasn't disturbed as at dinner he sat,

     Devouring a stew or a pie

To think it was lacking in granular fat,

       Or a couple of vitamins shy;

He cheerfully chewed every species of food,

     Unmindful of troubles or fears

Lest his health might be hurt

     By some fancy dessert,

And he lived over nine hundred years.
