Ballad of the Landlord
Landlord, landlord,
My roof has sprung a leak.
Don't you 'member I told you about it
Way last week?
Landlord, landlord,
These steps is broken down.
When you come up yourself
It's a wonder you don't fall down.
Ten Bucks you say I owe you?
Ten Bucks you say is due?
Well, that's Ten Bucks more'n I'l pay you
Till you fix this house up new.
What? You gonna get eviction orders?
You gonna cut off my heat?
You gonna take my furniture and
Throw it in the street?
Um-huh! You talking high and mighty.
Talk on-till you get through.
You ain't gonna be able to say a word
If I land my fist on you.
Police! Police!
Come and get this man!
He's trying to ruin the government
And overturn the land!
Copper's whistle!
Patrol bell!

Answer:
THE NARRATOR
Explanation:
The last stanza shifts away from the interactions between the landlord and tenant. The excitement in the first two lines of the stanza, punctuated with exclamation points, gives way to the routine process of the tenant's arrest in lines 3–5. These lines are punctuated with periods and presented almost as a checklist or a to-do list. This sparsely written list points to how institutional systems may not be able to achieve true justice and how they can be challenging to correct because they are so impersonal.
