The Aristocrat

________________________________________________
Title:     The Aristocrat
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Dat three-name chicken wid de feathery legs
Wha' 'merged f'om de ten dollar settin' of eggs,
Is a lonesome bird an' I s'picion he frets
'Ca'ze he can't outgrow dem pantalettes.
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat--
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat.







[The end]
