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!
