Advice To Children On
Behavior At The Table
Cut your meat both neat and square,
And take of both an equal share,
Also, of bones you’ll take your due,
For bones and meat together grew.
Don’t pick your teeth, or ears, or nose,
Nor scratch your head, nor tonk your toes;
Nor belch nor sniff, nor jest nor pun,
Nor have the least of play or fun.
