The Measuring Worm

Title:     The Measuring Worm
Author: Ruth McEnery Stuart [More Titles by Stuart]

When Br'er Measurin'-worm strikes out so brave,
Makin' tend he kin measure you for yo grave,
Wid all 'is stride an' all 'is stren'th
He can't measure mo'n 'is own little len'th.
An' he ain't by 'isself made cheap like dat--
No, he ain't by 'isself like dat.

[The end]
Ruth McEnery Stuart's poem: Measuring Worm
