Excerpt from What We Cook on Cape Cod A Cape Cod cook book! you who stray Far from the old sand-bordered Bay, The cranberry bogs, the tossing pines, The wind-swept beaches frothing lines, You city dwellers who, like me, Were children, playing by the sea, Whose fathers manned the vanished ships - Hark! do I hear you smack your lips? A Cape Cod cook book! My oh my! I know that twinkle on your eye, And why you're pricking up your ears, You've turned the clock back thirty years. I know that smile of yours; it tells Of chowder, luscious as it smells; And when you laugh aloud, you dream Of berry dumpling, bathed in cream. A Cape Cod cook book! Why, I'll bet The doughnut crock could tempt you yet! Those Cape Cod doughnuts! Yes you'll take A few of those, and then some cake - The frosted kinds-and-let me see - Some pie, of course, and - Mercy me! You can't go on; it wouldn't do! One takes on weight at forty-two. A Cape Cod cook book! Here they are! A breath from every cookie jar, A whiff from ovens spicy sweet, Two hundred secrets - good to eat! Thanksgiving, clambake, picnic grove, Each lends a taste, a treasure trove; And here they are for you to buy - What's that? You've bought one? So have I.
