***
by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Oh Misseldine's, dear Misseldine's,
A dive we'll ne'er forget,
The taste of its banana splits
Is on our tonsils yet.
Its chocolate fudge makes livers budge,
It's really too divine,
And as we reel, we'll give one squeal
For dear old Misseldine's.
Note
Written circa 1935, praising the local drugstore.
Published in Mizener's The Far Side of Paradise biography book.
