    Sadie and Maud by Gwendolyn Brooks

    Maud went to college.


    Sadie stayed home.
    Sadie scraped life
    With a fine toothed comb.

    She didn't leave a tangle in


    Her comb found every strand.
    Sadie was one of the livingness chicks
    In all the land.

    Sadie bore two babies


    Under her maiden name.
    Maud and Ma and Papa
    Nearly died of shame.

    When Sadie said her last so-long


    Her girls struck out from home.
    (Sadie left as heritage
    Her fine-toothed comb.)

    Maud, who went to college,


    Is a thin brown mouse.
    She is living all alone
    In this old house.
