A Bar’s Rest

A Bar’s Rest
1473

(A Paris restaurant advertises “dinners without music”
The cuisine is retined, the wines excel- lent,
but It bases its claim to popularity on the absence of music)

Oho! let us fly to the continong
For we’ve heard a report from Paree-
They’ve forbidden the band in a restorong
To kick up its charivari!

We suffered a deal when dining out,
In fact, we may say we grew stck
When forced our very small talk to shout
By makers of prandial musle

We had to converse at last by signa
With the dumbshow for “Pass the mustard!”
We mixed our ideas, we mixed our wines,
By the orchestra’s fury flustered!

The fourt of resmen and flow of sout
Are vantahed with Breitmann’s “barty”
When the Addies et horne na more contfal
Theif fortiestino extra hearty

So these that can open an easeful inn octis aknil in the winners;
And where there’s true at length to din,
We’ll banquet without the din neret
