Two Suppers.
The little Greenland Eskimo For supper has —oh, don't you know? A piece of blubber, nothing more. And that he eats upon the floor. And often wants another slice. Because it is so fat and niee. No table has wee Eskimo, He lives where all is ice and snow : His mother wears a suit of fur. And as he paddles after her, She smiles and says it's always so. I’hat blubber makes tile children grow. But Jean and Nell ami Tom. you Know, Are not like little Eskimo; I think they'd turn extremely pale If asked to sup off strips of whale; But imrrktge in a yellow platter Is quite another suit of matter. Their mother cooks it. oh. so well. For Jean and Tom and little Nell; It tastes so good, and Is so hot. And as she scrapes the porridge pot. She smiles and says It’s always so. That porridge makes the children grow. SHEILA.
