Catching Doodle-Bugs

________________________________________________
Title:     Catching Doodle-Bugs
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Little picaninnies, fishin' in de doodle-bug holes.
Wid a "spit for luck," an' straws for poles,
Show pyore delight in de fisherman's aim
All disp'opo'tioned to de game.
An' dey ain't by deyselves in dat, in dat--
An' dey ain't by deyselves in dat.







[The end]
