Edith Braswell Says She Doesn't Like Studying or Exams, May 15, 1926

Exams

I don’t like to study—naw I don’t,

An’ when I git like that I just wont!

Long comes exams—oh too much for me.

Druther have some ‘un an’ all like that you see?

“Crammin’” in the bath-tub till way past two,

I didn’t do that uh-uh. Not me. Did you?

Didn’t study none—went an’ flunked too,

That’s what I go for it—didn’ you?
