EVENING IN THE PANTRY by BURGES JOHNSON

First Line: IT'S LOTS MORE FUN TO EAT A PIE
Last Line: FOR NOW AND FOR TO-MORROW TOO!
Subject(s): CHILDREN; DESSERTS; FOOD & EATING; CHILDHOOD;
It's lots more fun to eat a pie
When grown-ups are not sitting by;
And jam and tarts and all such stuff,—
Then you can really eat enough.
But we're afraid there's much too few
For now and for to-morrow too!
