Paul Laurence Dunbar - Drizzle
Work rating: Low

HIT`S been drizzlin` an` been sprinklin`,
Kin` o` techy all day long.
I ain`t wet enough fu` toddy,
I`s too damp to raise a song,
An` de case have set me t`inkin`,
Dat dey`s folk des lak de rain,
Dat goes drizzlin` w`en dey`s talkin`,
An` won`t speak out flat an` plain.
Ain`t you nevah set an` listened
At a body `splain his min`?
W`en de t`oughts dey keep on drappin`
Was n`t big enough to fin`?
Dem`s whut I call drizzlin` people,
Othahs call `em mealy mouf,
But de fust name hits me bettah,
Case dey nevah tech a drouf.
Dey kin talk from hyeah to yandah,
An` f`om yandah hyeah ergain,
An` dey don` mek no mo` `pression,
Den dis powd`ry kin` o` rain.
En yo` min` is dry ez cindahs,
Er a piece o` kindlin` wood,
`T ain`t no use a-talkin` to`em,
Fu` dey drizzle ain`t no good.
Gimme folks dat speak out nachul,
Whut`ll say des whut dey mean,
Whut don`t set dey wo`ds so skimpy
Dat you got to guess between.
I want talk des` lak de showahs
Whut kin wash de dust erway,
Not dat sprinklin` convusation,
Dat des drizzle all de day.
