The Silver Lining
It's Only Old Pot Liquor, After All
Respectfully dedicated to the eminent scientist, Dr. H. Barringer Cox
Southerners have been rather amused to read lately that the favorite
dish of the children and the colored people, "Pot Liquor," that is the
liquid in which turnip greens, beans, etc., with bacon, have been
boiled, has now been pronounced a most valuable food by scientists. "Pot
Liquor" is usually eaten with "corn pone," that is, plain corn bread.
I feel advanced and erudite,
Because I recently did read
Where skilful scientist did write
A column full of learned "feed."
Oh, it was all about such things
As "vitamines" and kindred terms;
I read and read how some food brings
Eviction to the naughty germs.
I read of how we all should eat
The "essence" strong of turnip greens,
And oh, he showed in language meet
For science that he did "know beans."
My head did almost ache with weight
Of all the learning I obtained;
And when I read, through language great,
I marvelled at the knowledge gained.
Black "Mammy" would have never known
A germ. Alas! that she has died
Before her nurslings' feast, "corn pone"
In juice of greens was glorified.
