A poem by Ruth McEnery Stuart

The Wibbly Wabbly Calf

________________________________________________
Title:     The Wibbly Wabbly Calf
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

Cunnin' little donkey-baby--
"Ye-haw! Ye-haw!" What a funny laugh!
Soun' jes like a creaky, cranky
Seesaw--seesaw!
Wasn't nothin' funny roun' dat
We saw--we saw!
'Tel we glimpsed de stagger-gait dat
He saw--he saw!
Brindle strikin' swagger-gait when
She saw--she saw--her wibbly wabbly calf!

Den we j'ined wid Mister Donkey,
"He-haw! He-haw!" How we-all did laugh!
But we laughed at some'h'n' mo' dan
He saw--he saw!
Donkey couldn't see de ears dat
We saw--we saw!
Rabbit lopin' down de road, we
Three saw--three saw!
Wagged his ears an' called him daddy!
"Haw-haw! Haw-haw!" How dat--who dat laugh?
An' de last to see de joke was wibbly wabbly calf!
