Description:	Things Heard Around Unionville-Continued“I’m looking for some perfume or an undertaker: The dead--seven mice. Corpsesof same in my desk drawer.’’—Lucille Powers to Mrs. Hayes.“Spread out.’’—Mr. Dietrich when ready to give a test.There has been some throwing of chalk around school. Anyone caught throwingerasers or chalk will either be subjected to a paddling or expulsion.—from agreen announcement slip.The Food KibitzersI’m sure that this familiar sceneYou’ll all remember wellYou scrape your baked potato cleanAnd leave the hollow shell,Whereat, to your intense chagrin,The protestations start:“You mean you never eat the skin?Why, that’s the nicest part.’ ”You pare your melon to the rind,Till light is shining through;Your critic is the thorough kindWho eats the lining too.You dig the spikes from artichokesTo bare the tender heart,And some benighted person croaks:“You’ve left the choicest part! ’’Oh, not for them the juicy tipsAsparagus can boast ofThe stringy stalks between their lipsAnd what they make the most of.They scorn the chicken’s choicer bits--“It’s neck or nothing, chum.’’When fruit is served, they eat the pitsAnd throw away the plum.I’m drawing up some dinner listsOf folks to entertainThese culinary masochistsWill head the gravy train.Since food, to them, is mockery,I’ll serve a foodless mealAnd let them eat the crockery,If that’s the way they feel.
