Madam's Calling Cards

B. Roe

I had some cards printed

The other day.

They cost me more

Than I wanted to pay.

I told the man

I wasn't no mint

But I hankered to see

My name in print.

MADAM JOHNSON,

ALBERTA K.

He said, Your name looks good

Madam'd that way.

Shall I use Old English

Or a Roman letter?

I said, Use American.

American's better.

There's nothing foreign

to my pedigree:

Alberta K. Johnson --

American that's me.
