James Whitcomb Riley - At Aunty`s HouseJames Whitcomb Riley - At Aunty`s House
Work rating: Low


One time, when we`z at Aunty`s house--   `Way in the country!--where They`s ist but woods--an` pigs, an` cows--   An` all`s out-doors an` air!-- An` orchurd-swing; an` churry-trees-- An` _churries_ in `em!--Yes, an` these-- Here red-head birds steals all they please,   An` tetch `em ef 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 vittuls 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, goin` 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?_) An` all the time, the wind blowed there, An` I could feel it in my hair, An` ist smell clover _ever`_where!--   An` a` old red-head flew Purt` nigh wite over my high-chair,   _When we et on the porch!_
