Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Said de mammy alligator, wid a motherly grin:
"I nuver liked babies wid dey dimples tucked in,
But our little pet, wid its horny hide,
Like its mammy's an' its daddy's, is de fam'ly pride."
An' dey ain't by deyselves in dat, in dat--
An' dey ain't by deyselves in dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Mammy Alligator
