Pear & Watercress Salad thanks!

[Guest guest]

This sounds delish! It was a long time before I ever

discovered watercress. I think I would overlook it as

a type of cilantro or something. I sure love it and

I will try this recipe asap.

You get up every morning

From your alarm clock's warning

Take the 8:15 into the city

There's a whistle up above

And people pushin', people shovin'

And the girls who try to look pretty

And if your train's on time

You can get to work by nine

And start your slaving job to get your pay
