Triolettuce Salad

Ingredients by Goldsmith, Mallet, Trowbridge and
Coleridge. Stirred by us with a fountain pen this day.

Good people all, of every sort,
Give ear unto my song.
Or slim or stout, or tall or short,
Good people all, of every sort,
Attend ye to my metric sport
Until I sound the gong.
Good people all, of every sort,
Give ear unto my song.



’Twas at the silent, solemn hour
When night and morning meet.
Within my cozy five-room bow’r,
T’was at the silent solemn hour,
When Bill, in tones of dreadful pow’r,
Yelled: “HEY, GIDDAP THERE, PETE!”
’Twas at the silent, solemn hour
When night and morning meet!
