The Superbowl will begin with the “Black National Anthem,” written by black activist James W. Johnson. I'm sure not one football fan in 10,000 knows he also wrote “Dis Ain't no Time For an Argument,” in Negro dialect doggerel. One gloomy night down thro’ the woods, Old Moses Jenkins went. He had a dog and so it seemed, he was on ’possum bent. They sneaked along and soon the dog barked up a ’simmon tree. Old Moses said “Dat sholy means some possum meat for me.” He quickly climbed the tree, but just imagine his surprise, when not a possum, but a bear loomed up before his eyes. The bear he growled, and seemed to say, “Now Mose, ’twixt you and me, we’ll argue out the question as to which one owns this tree.” But Moses cried in haste, “Lord, I ain’t got a minute to waste. Dis ain’t no time for an argument, dat’s plain as plain can be. “Jes gimme a chance to hit the ground, and you can have de tree. ’Cause bear and possum meat, you see, never did taste alike to me. “Dis ain’t no time for an argument. Mister bear, farewell to thee.”
