Hollihocks

Ole Sis Hollihawkstan'in by de wall,In a pink party frocken a green shawl;She stan' en she stan',but not by enny chanceDoes big Brer Sunflowerax'er out ter dance.She ain' des sprightlyen she ain' des sweet,But she hol" huhsef straight,en she keep huhsef neat,En she seem to be a-sayin'to all "at pass'er by,—"Don' you think dat nuffinkin erscape my eye!"

—En it don't.
