Poem by Ellis Parker Butler

How’d You Like It?

Well, then! How’d you like to bear the name of Butler
  As an honor badge eight centuries at least,
And then have the Prohibitionists inform you
  That a butler is a sort of outlawed beast?

1. A Culinary Puzzle
2. Womanly Qualms
3. At Variance
4. The Ballade of the Mistletoe Bough
5. The Poor Boy’s Christmas
