John Milton Hayes Smile Poems
- 1. You Know What I Mean
I've noticed this happen, when everything is black,
When I'm down below zero and cannot get back,
When I feel like a sort of a National Debt,
That will go on for ages and never be met,
... - 2. The Whitest Man I Know
& R. Fenton Gower
He's acruisin' in a pearler with a dirty nigger crew,
... - 3. The Green Eye Of The Little Yellow God
There's a one-eyed yellow idol to the north of Khatmandu,
There's a little marble cross below the town;
There's a broken-hearted woman tends the grave of Mad Carew,
And the Yellow God forever gazes down.
