Küche
 Veal fricandeau is frightful stuff.  Boeuf a la mode is horrid.  Cheese eaten with tea is splendid.  Some people like to eat fried potatoes with cheese.  Macaroni?  My favorite dish.  But it has to be reeking with cheese, has to be absolutely dripping with cheese.  Actually I'm fascinated by kitchens; I'd probably have made a good cook or chef.  The poetry I'd have cooked up would have been far better, far tastier than what springs from the cold, pointy nib of my pen.  I'd have been able to serve a duke to satisfaction.
     Why my strong predilection for food?  Watching people eat is a pleasure for me.  How prettily, by the way, cats lap up milk.  My cat always used to share my plate with me.  With her black paw, she'd snatch the best morsels from beneath my very nose.  I was helpless to stop her; I couldn't possibly have punished her for her naughtiness.  Horses have such a charming way of eating.  A great many humans don't eat nearly so nicely...
