The Parrot

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

Sis' Tin-cage Polly wid de roamin' nose
Dat roams f'om 'er eyes tel it p'ints to 'er toes,
She keeps up a ratlin' talkin' pace
To turn off attention f'om de shape of 'er face.
An' you ain't by yo'self, Sis' Polly, in dat--
No, you ain't by yo'self in dat.

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