Mary had a little lamb
all fricassed with peas,
then a little lobster salad
and some energetic cheese;
A quart of hock to wash it down,
a taste of mountain dew -
All those our little Mary had;
and a little coffin, too.
I found this on a newspaper clipping glued in the front of a 1903 "The White House Cookbook".
(A comprehensive cyclopedia of information for the home by Hugo Ziemann [steward of the White House] and Mrs. F. L. Gillette; The Saalfield Publishing Company)
Thought it was cute
