THE SPOILED CHILD
'Cause Herbert Graham's a' only child—“Wuz I there, Ma?”
His parunts uz got him purt' nigh spiled—
“Wuz I there, Ma?”
Allus ever'where his Ma tells
Where she's bin at, little Herbert yells,
“Wuz I there, Ma?”
An' when she telled us wunst when she
Wuz ist 'bout big as him an' me,
W'y, little Herbert he says, says-ee,
“Wuz I there, Ma?”
Foolishest young-un you ever saw.—
“Wuz I there, Ma? Wuz I there, Ma?”
