To The Givers of Cocktail Parties

(EDEN NASH addresses the following to the Cocktail Party which serves all those savouries of caviare, stuffed celery, midget pretzels, eggs, anchovies, peanuts, almonds, and so forth:I am tired of gadgets with cocktails, I am awfully tired of gadgets with cocktails ... That slab of fumigated salmon, And that thing, whatever it is, all roiled up with a toothpick sticking through it... Gadgets with cocktails to you, my dear Mrs. Marshmallow, Gadgets with cocktails to you, Mrs. Rodney St. Rodney. Gadgets with cocktails to you and all other hostesses, And I’ll take some bread and butter and a slice of rare roast beef.
