A SONG AGAINST GROCERS

God made the wicked Grocer

For a mystery and a sign,

That men might shun the awful shop

And go to inns to dine....

The righteous minds of innkeepers

induce them now and then

To crack a bottle with a friend

Or treat unmoneyed men,

But who hath seen the grocer

Treat housemaids to his teas

Or crack a bottle of fish-sauce

or stand a man a cheese?

G.K. Chesterton, A Song Against Grocers
