Little Brown Baby

My mom had been looking at pics of DJ on the blog and was reminded of Paul Laurance Dunbar's Poem, "Little Brown Baby"...here's an excerpt and pictures of her own little brown baby wif sparkling eyes!

Little brown baby wif spak'lin' eyes,
Come to yo' pappy an set on his knee.
what you been doin' suh -- makin' san' pies?
Look at dat bib -- you's ez du'ty ez me.
Look at dat mouf -- dat's merlasses, I bet;
Come hyeah, Maria, an' wipe off his han's.
Bees gwine to ketch you an' eat you up yit,
Bein' so stick an sweet -- goodness lan's!
