A BIT DIFFERENT
Things are a bit different in
some other countries
even in
some of the countries of poor
old brokendown Europe
last
year when I was in Italy wait–
ing for a
train
in the station
restaurant
in
Bologna
a young
Italian woman came in with a
baby and sat down at the best
table in the middle of the di–
ning room (first class)
from
the way she behaved with that
baby you could see that she
was proud of it all right
and
an elderly man at another ta–
ble came over and played with
the baby letting it pull his
nose and his ears
yes it was a
beautiful baby beautiful and
black as a negro baby can be.
