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 @3wrote@1 she's comin', an' she @3can't@1 -- Folks is come @3there!@1 -- An' I don't care She @3is@1 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 @3pleurasy!"@1 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 @3smash@1 it! -- An' it's in there yit! But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no more! @3Oo!@1 I'm so wickud! -- An' my breath's so @3hot@1 -- 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-@3startin'@1 ag'in, but I @3won't,@1 fer shore! -- @3I ist ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!@1 | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE SICK ROSE, FR.
