/ The Poem
Madam and Her Madam
I worked for a woman,
She wasn't mean--
But she had a twelve-room
House to clean.
Had to get breakfast,
Dinner, and supper, too--
Then take care of her children
When I got through.
Wash, iron, and scrub,
Walk the dog around--
It was too much,
Nearly broke me down.
I said, Madam,
Can it be
You trying to make a
Pack-horse out of me?
She opened her mouth.
She cried, Oh, no!
You know, Alberta,
I love you so!
I said, Madam,
That may be true--
But I'll be dogged
If I love you!
We don't know when this poem was precisely written. But, the first story where Alberta K. Johnson (an important character created by Langston Hughes) is present was published in 1942. This poem is Madam and the Number Runner. Therefore, this poem was written after 1942.
hence in 1943...
