First Line: Don't let your dog curb you!
Alternate Author Name(s): Hughes, Langston
Subject(s): African Americans; Negroes; American Blacks


Don't let your dog curb you!
Curb your doggie
Like you ought to do,
But don't let that dog curb you!
You may play folks cheap,
Act rough and tough,
But a dog can tell
When you're full of stuff.
Them little old mutts
Look all scraggly and bad,
But they got more sense
Than some people ever had.
Cur dog, fice dog, kerry blue--
Just don't let your dog curb you!
