Paul Laurence Dunbar - ScampPaul Laurence Dunbar - Scamp
Work rating: Low


AIN`T it nice to have a mammy W`en you kin` o` tiahed out Wid a-playin` in de meddah, An` a-runnin` roun` about Till hit`s made you mighty hongry, An` yo` nose hit gits to know What de smell means dat`s a-comin` F`om de open cabin do`? She wash yo` face, An` mek yo` place, You`s hongry as a tramp; Den hit`s eat you suppah right away, You sta`vin` little scamp. W`en you`s full o` braid an` bacon, An` dey ain`t no mo` to eat, An` de lasses dat`s a-stickin` On yo` face ta`se kin` o` sweet, Don` you t`ink hit`s kin` o` pleasin` Fu` to have som`body neah Dat`ll wipe yo` han`s an` kiss you Fo` dey lif` you f`ore yo cheah? To smile so sweet, An` wash yo` feet, An` leave `em co`l an` damp; Den hit`s come let me undress you, now You lazy little scamp. Don` yo` eyes git awful heavy, An` yo` lip git awful slack, Ain`t dey som`p`n` kin` o` weaknin` In de backbone of yo` back? Don` yo` knees feel kin` o` trimbly, An` yo` head go bobbin` roun`, W`en you says yo` "Now I lay me," An` is sno`in` on de "down "? She kiss yo` nose, She kiss yo` toes, An` den tu`n out de lamp, Den hit`s creep into yo` trunnel baid, You sleepy little scamp.
