A certain young fellow WAS standing
on the porch talking to his 'sWeetness' |
the other night, while his friend was in
the backyard splitting wood for his
'tuti-frutp by the moonlight. The old
lady who was eaves-dropping poked
her Uranium out of the door and said
to the one on the porch. - Don't
stand out there in the cool talking to |
him, kick the 'niggah' over the fence"
The young man took the second |
thought and bowed his head and slow |
ly walked away. The girl reckoned,
when will see you agaiu?" he said, |
Never no more IN this house"
Say old boy. how often do you have
to split wood? "Ah he's a good boy,
bless his soul" That's what they give |
him, we suppose.
The password nowis Marry If you
haven't got tit, you are not IN the swim.
Well, she seems to be loving the |
whole family. Our girls have it in /
choosing fellows, Amy old thing will
do"
