From Home Economics Programs by Mrs. Lulu Williams Gillum (Kansas City: The Gillum book company, 1931), page 142:

[I have pieced this together from several "snippets." I probably didn't get the whole thing:]

"She added a zest to the simplest affair—
I just can't believe she's dead!"

So full of the spice of life;
(Even tho' a wee bit tart)
I just can't bear," the red beet wailed
"To think that we must part!"

"I've had my day in my own way
Down in garden lane. "
The cucumber wiped away a tear
"I'll never get 'pickled' again!"

There were tears in the potatoes' eyes,
And the cabbage hung its head;
And hearts were sad in the cellar that night
For the vinegar's "Mother" was dead!
