Southern Explanations, Limericks Options

[Larry]

Peggy, you asked for it so here are a couple.


Listen Slower

In the South where the vowels are round
And gentility’s worth we expound
You’ll hear Mom ‘n ‘em say,
“Y’all come back, straight away!”
Northern ears don’t hear words, just a sound!


-----------------------------------


Conservation

Way down south where life’s pace is a crawl
Some folks think that we talk with a drawl
But we’re trying to curb
Excess use of a verb
And pronouns when we’re asking, “How Y’all”?



Note: Last line of Conservation was "And some nouns..." which has been edited.

Larry, when in the south, I hear just fine, though sometimes I still laugh inside. But as a regional feast, you can't beat the beast, of a Yankee 'a'yup the caa paak's ova there, just dawn th' raad a piss. Have some carn it's wicked good, a'yup.'
We can all laugh at our own accents.
