Pipe Organ Cook Book | by Ladies of First Presbyterian Church
Good people seek some quiet nook, Throw off your cares and take a look, And we will in our little book, Tell you how Aledo ladies cook. No matter what they undertake, Whether fry, or stew, or bake; They never fail, or make mistake, But choicest dainties always make. And now their secrets they reveal, So when you tired, or hungry feel, Don't to a doctor make appeal, But cook yourself a good square meal.

"We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience and without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books - what is knowledge without grieving? He may live without hope - what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love - what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?"
