22 "That man of yours will never earn
 * His living as a waiter—

Is that queer thing supposed to burn? (It's far too dismal a concern
 * To call a Moderator.)

"The duck was tender, but the peas
 * Were very much too old:

And just remember, if you please, The next time you have toasted cheese,
 * Don't let them send it cold.

"You'd find the bread improved, I think,
 * By getting better flour:

And have you anything to drink That looks a little less like ink,
 * And isn't quite so sour?"
