DA PENUTTA MAN'S LAMENT
When I see a pritty girl like dat,
It make my heart go pit-a-pat.
An' while I try to looka gran'
The people leave penutta stan':
They geeve me suuch an ugly stare!
An' walk away so muuch "stuk up";
And call me "Lazy Dago pup."
'N gee! It make me feela tough
For dem to treat me suucha rough.
An' so I throw da trade away;
'N lose da mon' mos' ev'ry day.
-Erik Kraeg.
