Dialect

Ah ain’t much fur dieleck
‘cause ah cain’t do Hoosier Riley
nor not a Dayton Dunbar.

T’once sawd a Shake speered play
ta see lotsa trounce ‘n flounce
buy stage han’s pertenden parts.

‘n he’rd their iambic mouths
talk’n funny no’count words
mezmorsized from paper script.

Ah ain’t much for dieleck
‘cause ah din’t did ‘nuff school
to larn ‘bout cipher crypt.


Ref: James Whitcomb Riley (1849-1916)
Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)

Don,

I too loved the humor of this piece...

Yesterday I googled both Riley and Dunbar
and read some of thier poems.

This is my favorite part. Very Cool beans...

T’once sawd a Shake speered play
ta see lotsa trounce ‘n flounce
buy stage han’s pertenden parts.

I enjoyed it very much...no nits from me...

Hope you have a wonderful day

:) brenda
