Classic Poem

WI' CHILDERN AN' OTHER VO'KS IN HOUSE

A-zellen meat-weäre I shall get noo meat,
I mussen keep a shop o' weäres to eat.
I have zome goods, but I do hardly think
They be a-zwold so vast as they do shrink.
I have zome goods, but zomehow all my stocks
Do weäste away lik' camphor in a box.
Hand after han' do come, and slily clips
A bit an' bit to veed zome peäir o' lips.
You vo'k in house don't wait vor gain o' treäde,
But teäke the store avore the gain's a-meäde.
I had zome aggs, an' I do miss zome aggs,
An' I don't think they went 'ithout zome lags.
I had zome aggs, an' zome ha' left my store,
But I don't think they travell'd out o' door.
I ha'n't a-got zome aggs that oonce wer mine,
But I don't think they brought me any cwein.
I bought zome aggs, as I do know vull well;
I bought zome aggs, but now ha' nwone to zell.
