"A Flask of Fields / I'm tendin' bar one time down in the lower East Side in New York. A tough paloma come in there by the name of Chicago Molly. I cautioned her, 'None of your picadilloes in here!' / There was some hot lunch on the bar, comprised of succatash, Philadelphia cream cheese and asparagus with mayonnaise. / She dips her mitt down into this moulage. / I'm yawning at the time, and she hits me right in the mouth with it. / I jumps over the bar! I knock her down!... / So I starts to kick her in the midriff. Did you ever kick a woman in the midriff that had a pair of corsets on? ... Why I almost broke my great toe. / I never had such a painful experience."
