Paul Laurence Dunbar - ChristmasPaul Laurence Dunbar - Christmas
Work rating: Low


STEP wid de banjo an` glide wid de fiddle, Dis ain` no time fu` to pottah an` piddle; Fu` Christmas is comin`, it`s right on de way, An` dey`s houahs to dance `fo` de break o` de day. What if de win` is taihin` an` whistlin`? Look at dat fiah how hit`s spittin` an` bristlin`! Heat in de ashes an` heat in de cindahs, Ol` mistah Fros` kin des look thoo de windahs. Heat up de toddy an` pas` de wa`m glasses, Don` stop to shivah at blowin`s an` blas`es, Keep on de kittle an` keep it a-hummin`, Eat all an` drink all, dey`s lots mo` a-comin`. Look hyeah, Maria, don`t open dat oven, Want all dese people a-pushin` an` shovin`? Res` f`om de dance? Yes, you done cotch dat odah, Mammy done cotch it, an` law! hit nigh flo`d huh; `Possum is monst`ous fu` mekin` folks fin` it! Come, draw yo` cheers up, I`s sho` I do` min` it. Eat up dem critters, you men folks an` wimmens, `Possums ain` skace w`en dey`s lots o` pu`simmons.
