Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Br'er Peacock 'lows he's a 'ristocrat,
Wid mighty fine clo'es, an' vain at dat;
He'll answer yo' glance wid col' surprise
An' look you over wid a thousan' eyes!
But he ain't by 'isself in dat, in dat--
But he ain't by 'isself in dat.

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