FASHION PLATES by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: FASHION PLATES ARE DAINTY DISHES
Last Line: YES -- AND BILLS!
Subject(s): FASHION;
Fashion plates are dainty dishes
Whence the ladies eat.
What's upon 'em? Eggs and fishes?
Solid bread and meat?
No! the plates are heaped with folly,
Indigestion's ills,
Empty trifles of a dolly,
Yes -- and bills!
