poppa I know. there's a frog on my toe. maybe I'll call him Jethro. maybe I'll grow up to be. quite as good as he. and maybe you'll come back. after you're long gone. and poppa I'm sure. the worms have eaten you now. and Jethro's been on some "Frenchy"'s plate long ago. and now I'm pretty sure that I listen to every word. cause I still hear you telling me still. slap them boys when they're naughty. make 'em crawl make you haughty. make strong little girl. you paint them toes that reddish colour. and you know one day. you're gonna be bigger than a flea. you're gonna be bigger than that old poison ivy tree. now I'm pretty sure that I think you come and visit. and talk sometimes kind of like Gidget and. in funny little chants like and Indian Brave. you said we all grew fat when the old white man came. but one day girl. you're gonna learn to make 'em crawl. make 'em grow tall but have the grace. to be a lady with disgrace and. you fry those taters and you make them with lady's. hands and all you're my poppy's baby.
