Classic Poem

I AIN'T a-goin' to cry no more, no more!
I'm got ear-ache, an' Ma can't make
It quit a-tall;
An' Carlo bite my rubber-ball
An' puncture it; an' Sis she take
An' poke' my knife down through the stable-floor
An' loozed it — blame it all!
But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!

An' Aunt Mame wrote she's comin', an' she can't —
Folks is come there! — An' I don't care
She is my Aunt!
An' my eyes stings; an' I'm
Ist coughin' all the time,
An' hurts me so; an' where my side's so sore
Grampa felt where, an' he
Says " Mayby it's pleurasy! "
But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!

An' I clumbed up an' nen falled off the fence,
An' Herbert he ist laugh at me!
An' my fi'-cents
It sticked in my tin bank, an' I ist tore
Purt' nigh my thumbnail off, a-tryin' to git
It out — nen smash it! — An' it's in there yit!
But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!

Oo! I'm so wickud! — An' my breath's so hot —
Ist like I run an' don't res' none
But ist run on when I ought to not;
Yes, an' my chin
An' lips's all warpy, an' teeth's so fast,
An' 's a place in my throat I can't swaller past —
An' they all hurt so! —
An' oh, my-oh!
I'm a-startin' ag'in —
I'm a- startin' ag'in, but I won't , fer shore! —
I ist ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!
