ODE TO THE RITZ BAR " Good morning, Mister, Sir or Count, " What will it be to-day! " And Frank awaits the deft reply : - " The same as yesterday." The noise of liquor, ice and shake; A kingly mixing knack; A sandwich, almond or a chip. Then " bottoms-up " and " smack "I " That's pretty good ! " says he to Frank, " I guess I'll shoot one morel " " Right, Mister, Sir or Count," says Frank, " The morning's rather raw! " A " Rose ", " Martini sec " or " Bronx ", They're all the same to Frank! " A call for you er— Mr. Smith, You're wanted at the Bank." " Er— thank you, Frank, have you seen Jones ? He said he'd meet me here." " He just stepped out the Cambon side. He's had his morning beer." " Un Porto flip pour vous, Vicomte ? Vite la, petit, du lait! " " You're looking better, Mr. Brown, Is this your first today ? " And so it goes from morn till night And always you go back.
