Description
Photograph of a Korean man and woman eating a meal. They are seated on a mat at a small table on which are three bowls and a carafe. In the background a man wearing a dark hat peeks out from behind a painted screen. "The one-eyed man bahind the screen Doth lick his chops in vain There won't be nuthin left to eat When he's alone again. His visitors have cleaned him out. Too late they came to call Just as he sat him down to sup And now they've finished all. (The lady seems to feel a pain But hubby feels he'll call again.)
