BRUDDER SIMS

Dah's Brudder Sims! Dast slam yo’ Bible shet

An’ lef’ dat man alone — kase he's de boss

Ob all de preachahs ev’ I come across!

Day's no twis’ in dat gospil book, I bet,

Ut Brudder Sims cai n't splanify, an’ set

You’ min’ at eaze! W'at' s Moses an’ de Laws?

W'at' s fo'ty days an’ nights ut Noey toss

Aroun’ de Dil-ooge?— W'at dem Chillen et

De Lo'd rain down? W'at s'prise ole Joney so

In dat whale's inna'ds?— W'at dat laddah mean

Ut Jacop see?— an’ wha’ dat laddah go?—

Who clim dat laddah?— Wha’ dat laddah lean?—

An’ wha’ dat laddah now? “Dast chalk yo’ toe

Wid Faith,” sez Brudder Sims, “an’ den you know!”
