Epigram At Brownhill Inn[1]

At Brownhill we always get dainty good cheer,
And plenty of bacon each day in the year;
We've a' thing that's nice, and mostly in season,
But why always Bacon—come, tell me a reason?
[1]

Bacon was the name of a presumably intrusive host. The lines are said to have "afforded much amusement."-Lang
