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

Oh, Watermilion sho' is good to eat!
But de darkie rates it twice-t mo' sweet,
'Ca'ze it's ap' to b'long to de yether man,
An' it's mighty hard to lif' by sleight o' han'.
An' it ain't by itself, made sweet like dat--
No, it ain't by itself like dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Watermelon
