Pilot-Bread
Herring and pilot-bread for dinner!
Steamboat travelers on rough Michigan sea!
Not loaf bread nor bran
no water crackers, too,
viscidity
indigestability
attested by Graham.
Pilot-bread cut and pilot-bread fried,
easier eating, mixed with butter or lard,
or in boiling foam
of the fat of deep pork dipped,
yet a banquet
for those distressed
far from their home.

memoirs of me sailing days upon the Great Inland Seas!
Graham - of Graham cracker fame; he speaks on the evils of gluten and wheat breads.
