A poem by Ruth McEnery Stuart

The Terrapin

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

Br'er Tarrapin draws in 'is head so knowin',
You can't tell whether he's comin' or goin',
But his mind ain't mixed--he's layin' low
Tel he sees which way he's obleeged to go.
An' he ain't no new politician in dat--
No, he ain't by 'isself in dat.







[The end]
