Paul Laurence Dunbar - Noddin` By De Fire
Work rating: Low

SOME folks t`inks hit`s right an` p`opah,
Soon ez bedtime come erroun`,
Fu` to scramble to de kiver,
Lak dey`d hyeahed de trumpet soun`.
But dese people day all misses
Whut I mos`ly does desiah;
Dat`s de settin` roun` an` dozin`,
An` a-noddin` by de fiah.
When you`s tiahed out a-hoein`,
Er a-followin` de plough,
Whut`s de use of des a-fallin`
On yo` pallet lak a cow?
W`y, de fun is all in waitin`
In de face of all de tiah,
An` a-dozin` and a-drowsin`
By a good ol` hick`ry fiah.
Oh, you grunts an` groans an` mumbles
Case yo` bones is full o` col`,
Dough you feels de joy a-tricklin`
Roun` de co`nahs of yo` soul.
An` you `low anothah minute
`S sho to git you wa`m an` dryah,
W`en you set up pas` yo` bedtime,
Case you hates to leave de fiah.
Whut`s de use o` downright sleepin`?
You can`t feel it while it las`,
An` you git up feelin` sorry
W`en de time fu` it is pas`. 
Seem to me dat time too precious,
An` de houahs too short entiah,
Fu` to sleep, w`en you could spen` `em 
Des a-noddin` by de fiah.
