Langston Hughes - Madam and The Rent Man
Work rating: High

The rent man knocked. 
He said, Howdy-do? 
I said, What
Can I do for you? 
He said, You know
Your rent is due. 

I said, Listen, 
Before I`d pay
I`d go to Hades 
And rot away! 

The sink is broke, 
The water don`t run, 
And you ain`t done a thing
You promised to`ve done. 

Back window`s cracked, 
Kitchen floor squeaks, 
There`s rats in the cellar, 
And the attic leaks. 

He said, Madam, 
It`s not up to me. 
I`m just the agent, 
Don`t you see? 

I said, Naturally, 
You pass the buck. 
If it`s money you want
You`re out of luck. 

He said, Madam, 
I ain`t pleased! 
I said, Neither am I. 
So we agrees!
