farm, read this dear little poem of James Whitcomb Riley's:
AT AUNTY'S HOUSE. One time when we's at aunty's house-- 'Way in the country--where They's ist but woods and pigs and cows, An' all's outdoors and air! An orchurd swing; an' churry trees, An' churries in 'em! Yes, an' these Here red-head birds steal all they please An' tech 'em if you dare! W'y wunst, one time when we wuz there, We et out on the porch! Wite where the cellar door wuz shut The table wuz; an' I Let aunty set by me an' cut My wittles up--an' pie. Tuz awful funny! I could see The red heads in the churry tree; An' bee-hives, where you got to be So keerful going by; An' comp'ny there an' all! An' we-- We et out on the porch! An'--I ist et p'surves an' things 'At ma don't 'low me to-- An' chickun gizzurds (don't like wings Like parunts does, do you?) |
