Perverted Proverbs: A Manual of Immorals for the Many — 'After Dinner Sit a While; After Supper Walk a Mile.'

"_After Dinner Sit a While; After Supper Walk a Mile.

_" After luncheon sit awhile, 'Tis an admirable plan;

After dinner walk a mile-- But make certain that you _can_.

(Were you not this maxim taught;-- "Good is Wrought by want of Port."

) After dinner think on this;

Join the ladies with a smile, And remember that a Miss Is as good as any mile.

(Thus you may be led to feel What Amis felt for Amile.

) Never fear of being shy At the houses where you dine;

You'll recover by-and-bye, With the second glass of wine;

And can recognize with bliss That a Meal is not amiss.
