Living
The Re-echo Club: as by Algernon Swinburne (Christmas)
From The Re-echo Club
Living
If you eat turkey stuffing,
And I eat hot mince pie,
We'll vow that our digestion
Is quite beyond all question;
But soon we'll quit our bluffing
And curl us up to die,
If you eat turkey stuffing,
And I eat hot mince pie.
