Edgar Guest - The EpicureEdgar Guest - The Epicure
Work rating: Low


I`ve sipped a rich man`s sparkling wine, His silverware I`ve handled. I`ve placed these battered legs of mine `Neath tables gayly candled. I dine on rare and costly fare Whene`er good fortune lets me, But there`s no meal that can compare With those the missus gets me. I`ve had your steaks three inches thick With all your Sam Ward trimming, I`ve had the breast of milk-fed chick In luscious gravy swimming. To dine in swell cafe or club But irritates and frets me; Give me the plain and wholesome grub  The grub the missus gets me. Two kiddies smiling at the board, The cook right at the table, The four of us, a hungry horde, To beat that none is able. A big meat pie, with flaky crust! `Tis then that joy besets me; Oh, I could eat until I "bust," Those meals the missus gets me.
