A Cook
They
had
a
cook
with
them
who
stood
alone
For
boiling
chicken
with
a
marrow-bone,
Sharp
flavouring
powder
and
a
spice
for
savour.
He
could
distinguish
London
ale
by
flavour,
And
he
could
roast
and
boil
and
seethe
and
fry,
Make
good
thick
soup
and
bake
a
tasty
pie...
As
for
blancmange,
he
made
it
with
the
best.
