The Game-Cock

Title:     The Game-Cock
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Dey's some things square an' some things round,
An' little game cocks ain't sol' by de pound;
Dey's weighed by sand an' pluck an' grit
An' de number o' dead dey leave in de pit.
An' dey ain't by deyselves in rank like dat--
No, dey ain't by deyselves in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Game-Cock
