Kassel B’ildin’ Poem by Raymond Garfield Dandridge

Hab you evah laid 'wake dreamin'
B'ildin' kassels in de air,
Wid de windahs purtty stain glass,
Marbell hall, and windin' stair;
An' a drive ob snow white pebbells
Runnin' plum up to de stabell,
Cross a lawn, dats green an' lebell
Ez a bran new bilyard tabell?

Ise dun dun dat varie thin', Sah!
An' I wondah kin dar be
Eny uddah foolish creachah
Kassel b'ildin', jes lak me.
But it doan hu't none, I figgah,
An' I fines it mighty fine,
Jes alayin' b'ildin' kassels,
W'en dar's nuthin' on mah mine.
