Volume 10 — WHEN THE SIRUP'S ON THE FLAPJACK
Reading edition
BY BERT LESTON TAYLOR
When the sirup's on the flapjack and the coffee's in the pot; When the fly is in the butter—where he'd rather be than not; When the cloth is on the table, and the plates are on the cloth; When the salt is in the shaker and the chicken's in the broth; When the cream is in the pitcher and the pitcher's on the tray, And the tray is on the sideboard when it isn't on the way; When the rind is on the bacon, and likewise upon the cheese, Then I somehow feel inspired to do a lot of rhymes like these.
