On Sunday, a cut for a Sirloin, On Monday, cold ditto will do, On Tuesday, a Hash, or Sausage and Mash, On Wednesday, a good Irish stew, Don't fill up your belly with buns,milk or jelly, Have something with sustenance- Do!, For troubles will fly, on Steak and Kid Pie, So have meat every day on your menu.- Old English Song
