Paul Laurence Dunbar - The Real QuestionPaul Laurence Dunbar - The Real Question
Work rating: Low


Folks is talkin` `bout de money, `bout de silvah an` de gold;   All de time de season `s changin` an` de days is gittin` cold.   An` dey `s wond`rin` `bout de metals, whethah we`ll have one er two.   While de price o` coal is risin` an` dey `s two months` rent dat `s due.   Some folks says dat gold `s de only money dat is wuff de name,   Den de othahs rise an` tell `em dat dey ought to be ashame,   An` dat silvah is de only thing to save us f`om de powah   Of de gold-bug ragin` `roun` an` seekin` who he may devowah.   Well, you folks kin keep on shoutin` wif yo` gold er silvah cry,   But I tell you people hams is sceerce an` fowls is roostin` high.   An` hit ain`t de so`t o` money dat is pesterin` my min`,   But de question I want answehed `s how to get at any kin`!
