Yet let me not be unconsoled: / So many greybeards I behold, / Distinguished in affairs of state, / In culture counted with the Great, / Have tummies with a shameless bulge, / And so I think I'll still indulge / In eats I like without a qualm, / And damn my diaphragm!'Robert William Service

Of all the meals that glad my day / My morning one's the best; / Purveyed me on a silver tray, / Immaculately dressed. / I rouse me when the dawn is bright; / I leap into the sea, / Returning with a rare delight / To honey, toast and tea.Robert William Service
