Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

No matter how much she strive to 'spire,
Sis' Nannie Goat's measured 'g'inst some'h'n' higher;
"First cousin to a sheep" an' "de po' man's cow,"
Is hol'-down luck, come when, come how.
An' she ain't by 'erself helt down like dat--
No, she ain't by 'erself in dat.

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