Children
Pray dearest mother if you please
Cut up your double-curded cheese,
The oldest of the brotherhood.
It's ripe, no doubt and nicely good!
Your reputation will rise treble
As we the lucious morsel nibble.
Praise will flow from each partaker
Both on the morsel and the maker!
Madame
Your suit is vain,--upon my word,
You taste not yet my double-curd;
I know the hour,--the very minute
In which I'll plunge my cutteau in it;
Am I to learn of witless bairns
How I must manage my concerns?
As yet the fervid dog-star reigns
And gloomy Virgo holds the reigns.
Be quiet chicks, sedate and sober
And house your stomachs till October;
Then for a feast! Upon my word,
I'll really cut my double curd.

Between the hand and the lip the morsel may slip.
'Twixt the spoon and the lip, the morsel may slip.

In your neighbors' soup there is always one fatty morsel.
He rolls it under his tongue as a sweet morsel.

In eating 'tis good to begin, one morsel helps the other in.
A morsel eaten selfishly does not gain a friend.
Do good even unto the wicked; for it is best to close the dog's mouth with a morsel.

I don't see a benefit in accepting every single little morsel of work that comes along because I think in essence what you're doing is you're raping yourself really.
