A picture that whets the appetite
Lightly browned toast standing upright
Hemmed in on each side by jarred jam
Glasses filled with honey thus far
Upon a wooden table sits
A treat fit for nobility
Alive with beauty sits the meal
Upon the table fair
The lightly browned toast bids welcome
As does the jam light as air
Mother could make poverty seem
Like grand six course dinners
Homemade bread, jams, and jellies
No chance of getting thinner
Sundays' meals were always special
There might be fresh peach jam
On buttered toast with honey
But never any lamb
