Dressed Up

                                                                     By Langston Hughes

I had ma clothes cleaned

Just like new

I put ‘em on but I still feels blue

I bought a new hat,

Sho is fine,

But I wish I had back that

Old gal o’ mine.

I got new shoes—

They don’t hurt ma feet,

But I ain’t got nobody

For to call me sweet.

A little girl stayed over and taught me that poem last night. As long as she calls me sweet I'm good--butcept on the Friday and Saturday nights when she's not here. Anyone wanna come over and see my etchings? And my shoes?

 Onward. In new shoes. Reading Hughes.
