XXX Kenneth C. Beaton (“K. C. B.”)
Lobster
Get a couple of lobsters.
Split and cleaned.
And put in a pan.
And dot each piece.
With bits of butter.
And put the pan.
In a very hot oven.
And broil ten minutes.
And after that.
Lift meat from shell.
Onto heated plates.
And serve with sauce.
Made in a bowl.
With a bit of mustard.
Stirred in water.
And a pinch of salt.
And of paprika.
Just a dash.
And a scant teaspoon.
Of Walnut catsup.
And a tablespoon.
Of Worcestershire sauce.
And mix them all.
With half a cup.
Of melted butter.
That’s just been heated.
And not boiled.
And serve it all.
With a mess of potatoes.
Baked or boiled.
And boy, oh, boy!
There is a dish.
Fit for the gods!
I thank you.
