Your candy, and your cake.

T

T is the rank Tobacco plant,
Raised by slave labor too:
A poisonous and nasty thing,
For gentlemen to chew.

U

U is for Upper Canada,
Where the poor slave has found
Rest after all his wanderings,
For it is British ground!

V

V is the Vessel, in whose dark,
Noisome, and stifling hold,
Hundreds of Africans are packed,
Brought o'er the seas, and sold.

W

W is the Whipping post,
To which the slave is bound,
While on his naked back, the lash
Makes many a bleeding wound.
