In F-L-A, she made Janie and Teacake
her ethnographic work took her all over the Southern states

Listenin' to rituals in Haiti and Jamaica
You should hear what she heard

Z! For the "z" in Their EyeZ Were Watching God
O! O-o- Okeechobee, way down South in the swamp
R! He jumped in for Janie got bit by a rabid dog
A! Subway, Did you see me cry for Teacake?
