I don't think that the quotations of poetry are appropriate to this article, how do others feel about them? 71.198.181.70 (talk) 22:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Certainly not that particular poem as it has little connection to the subject, If there MUST be poetry here's a bit of doggerel from the S. Sternau & Sons Chafing Dish catalog, Ca. 1900

EATING AT BEDTIME

Wise old doctors used to say, do your eating in the day. Never eat a thing, they said, just before you go to bed. Modern doctors differ quite, and say just the opposite. "Food at Bedtime" they explain "calms the nerve and soothes the brain" So, we cannot go astray, if we eat both Night and Day- and a Chafing Dish at night, brings to life a new delight.

It has more meaning (some) as at the turn of the century chaffing dishes made light hot snacks fairly easy to prepare- no huge kitchen stove to fire up. Saxophobia (talk) 20:26, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
