Huntington History: A Mother's Lament


"Today I rose and packed my son

a lunch a monarch would not shun.

An orange and a hard-boiled egg,

a nice cold crunchy chicken leg.

Cheese sandwiches on salty rye,

a pickle, plus a piece of pie.

And what's the reason that I mutter?

He traded it for peanut butter."


As it appeared in the Lincoln School Jotter

(PTA Bulletin) circa 1935
