SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: HOW TIMES HAVE CHANGED! DELIGHT WE USED TO TAKE
Last Line: OF HOME-BREW MOTHER USED TO BOTTLE UP
Subject(s): TEMPERANCE; PROHIBITION;

How times have changed! Delight we used to take
In talk of bread that mother used to bake.
And coffee, too. Ah, good old kitchen range,
You still are there, although the fashions change;
Some day, no doubt, we'll praise the cheering cup
Of home-brew mother used to bottle up.
