Work rating:
Low
Once der was a meetin` in de wilderness,
All de critters of creation dey was dar;
Brer Rabbit, Brer `Possum, Brer Wolf, Brer Fox,
King Lion, Mister Terrapin, Mister B`ar.
De question fu` discussion was, "Who is de bigges` man?"
Dey `pinted ole Jedge Owl to decide;
He polished up his spectacles an` put `em on his nose,
An` to the question slowly he replied:
"Brer Wolf am mighty cunnin`,
Brer Fox am mighty sly,
Brer Terrapin an` `Possum — kinder small;
Brer Lion`s mighty vicious,
Brer B`ar he`s sorter `spicious,
Brer Rabbit, you`s de cutes` of `em all."
Dis caused a great confusion `mongst de animals,
Ev`y critter claimed dat he had won de prize;
Dey `sputed an` dey arg`ed, dey growled an` dey roared,
Den putty soon de dus` begin to rise.
Brer Rabbit he jes` stood aside an` urged `em on to fight.
Brer Lion he mos` tore Brer B`ar in two;
W`en dey was all so tiahd dat dey couldn`t catch der bref
Brer Rabbit he jes` grabbed de prize an` flew.
Brer Wolf am mighty cunnin`,
Brer Fox am mighty sly,
Brer Terrapin an` Possum — kinder small;
Brer Lion`s mighty vicious,
Brer B`ar he`s sorter `spicious,
Brer Rabbit, you`s de cutes` of `em all.
