Bekase she's got de sugah An' knows jes' how to pad. Huccum dat han'some No'th Side girl To make de public scoff? Bekase her uppah story it Was jes' a little off. Huccums de eyarf a shakin' up An' scarin' people so? Bekase dat's jes' how Belzebub Remin's us ob below. Huccums de trees a-glis'nin' an' De grass all wet wid dew? Bekase why, chile, de atmosfeah Had nuffin' else to do. Huccum dese metafizicks A-healin' people so? Don't ask me no mo' questions, chile, I tole yo' I don't know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TWO POEMS FROM THE WAR: 2 by ARCHIBALD MACLEISH PEACE ON EARTH by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON ROBINSON CRUSOE ['S STORY, OR ISLAND] by CHARLES EDWARD CARRYL TO BARON DE STONNE WITH AIKIN'S ESSAYS ON SONG-WRITING by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD MID-OCEAN by WILLIAM ROSE BENET ONLY ONE LIFE by HORATIO (HORATIUS) BONAR DRAMATIC IDYLS: 2ND SERIES.
