The Fig

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

De fig dat's "sweet enough to eat"
Is sweet enough, but not too sweet;
But de honey-lip fig in de blazin' light
Is a battle-ground whar de varmints fight.
An' it ain't by itself in dat, in dat--
An' it ain't by itself in dat.

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