MAN IS -WHAT HE EATS; It is an ancient proverb that the Teuton oft repeats. (It’s not a pun, in English) that “a man is what he eats.” I ran across it yesterday, and said, said I to me, “Why this explains why many people are just what they’be!” “I know why Thompson is a pig and Smith a piece of cheese— It’s just because their favorite foods Rre articles like these. I know why Johnson is a crab and Jen-’ kins is a prune, And I shall have each man know accounted for right soon!” I thought the whole list over, and I figured all and each— Why Dolly was a lemon, while Prunella was a peach; I knew why sap was Uousin Cholly Chumley’s best-loved dish. Why Jones was such a lobster and 'his brother such a fish. My wife (who is a pippin) came and glanced upon this list. And then she went to market, with my wages in her fist; And if she buys me beef or veal or mutton chops or ham, Or if she frankly feeds me goat, I’ll know just what I am! —Ted Robinson.
