The Persimmon

Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Is you little gals, growin' into women,
Ever tasted a snappy young persimmin?
It takes a hard frost to make it sweet,
An' it's ol' an' swiveled 'fo' it's fit to eat!
But it ain't by itself, sharp chillen, in dat--
No, it ain't by itself in dat.

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