Eggs And Bread Recipe

Never go to France,

Unless you know the lingo;

If you do, like me,

You'll repent, by jingo.

Starving like a fool,

And silent as a mummy,

There I stood alone,

A nation with a dummy.

Signs I had to make

For every little notion;

Limbs all going like

A telegraph in motion;

If I wanted _bread_,

My jaws I set a-going,

And asked for _new laid eggs_

By clapping hands and crowing.

Put half a handful of breadcrumbs into a saucepan, with a small

quantity of cream, sugar, and nutmeg, and let it stand till the bread

has imbibed all the cream; then break ten eggs into it, and having

beaten them up together, fry it like an omelet.
