Madam And Her Madam


I worked for a woman,

She wasn't mean—

But she had a twelve-room

House to clean.


Had to get breakfast,

Dinner, and supper, too—

Then take care of her children

When I got through.


Wash, iron, and scrub,

Walk the dog around—

It was too much,

Nearly broke me down.


I said, Madam,

Can it be

You trying to make a

Pack-horse out of me?


She opened her mouth.

She cried, Oh, no!

You know, Alberta,

I love you so!


I said, Madam,

That may be true—

But I'll be dogged

If I love you!
