INEXPENSIVE GUESTS
By Ring Lardner
I wonder how‘ twould make you feel,
My fellow food providers,
To have as guests at ev'ry meal
Three — count‘ em, three — outsiders.
Well, that's the case with me, but still
I do n't complain or holler,
For, strange to say, the groc'ry bill
Has not gone up a dollar.
These guests of ours, to make it brief,
Ca n't really chew or swallow;
They're merely dolls, called Indian Chief,
And Funny Man, and Rollo.
