Two cups of Indian, 1 cup wheat,
One cup sour milk, 1 cup sweet,
One good egg that well you beat;
Half a cup molasses, too,
Half cup sugar add thereto;
With 1 spoon of butter new,
Salt and soda each a spoon;
Then you'll have corn bread complete,
Best of all corn breads you meet.
It will make your boy's eyes shine,
If he's like that boy of mine.
If you have a dozen boys
To increase your household joys,
Double then this rule I should,
And you'll have two corn cakes good.
When you've nothing nice for tea,
This the very thing will be.
All the men that I have seen
Say it is of all cakes queen---
Good enough for any king,
That a husband home can bring.
Warming up the human stove,
Cheering up the hearts you love.
And only Tyndall can explain
The link between corn bread and brain.
Get a husband what he likes,
And save a hundred household strikes.---Selected.
