The Rat

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

Br'er Rat in de corn-bin over-fed
An' under-worked, an' now he's dead;
He craved to live lak a bloated chief,
An' now he ain't nothin' but a ol' dead thief.
An' he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat--
No, he ain't by 'isself in dat.

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