A portion (No. 1) will do For Wednesday's so-to-speak "ragoût"; A portion (No. 2) will be The gist of Thursday's "fricassee"; A portion (No. 3) supply The pith of Friday's "cottage pie"; A portion (No. 4) will play The leading rôle on Saturday, Entitled, may be, "à la russe," Or, better still, "anonymous." Thus is economy attained, For thus is appetite constrained.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
