Work rating: Medium


FOLKS ain`t got no right to censuah othah folks about dey habits; Him dat giv` de squir`ls de bushtails made de bobtails fu` de rabbits. Him dat built de gread big mountains hollered out de little valleys, Him dat made de streets an` driveways wasn`t shamed to make de alleys. We is all constructed diff`ent, d`ain`t no two of us de same; We cain`t he`p ouah likes an` dislikes, ef we`se bad we ain`t to blame. Ef we`se good, we need n`t show off, case you bet it ain`t ouah doin` We gits into su`ttain channels dat we jes` cain`t he`p pu`suin`. But we all fits into places dat no othah ones could fill, An` we does the things we has to, big er little, good er ill. John cain`t tek de place o` Henry, Su an` Sally ain`t alike; Bass ain`t nuthin` like a suckah, chub ain`t nuthin` like a pike. When you come to think about it, how it`s all planned out it`s splendid. Nuthin`s done er evah happens, `dout hit`s somefin` dat`s intended; Don`t keer whut you does, you has to, an` hit sholy beats de dickens,— Viney, go put on de kittle, I got one o` mastah`s chickens.
