Paul Laurence Dunbar - Trouble In De KitchenPaul Laurence Dunbar - Trouble In De Kitchen
Work rating: Low


DEY was oncet a awful quoil `twixt de skillet an` de pot; De pot was des a-bilin` an` de skillet sho` was hot. Dey slurred each othah`s colah an` dey called each othah names, W`ile de coal-oil can des gu-gled, po`in oil erpon de flames. De pot, hit called de skillet des a flat, disfiggered t`ing, An` de skillet `plied dat all de pot could do was set an` sing, An` he `lowed dat dey was `lusions dat he wouldn`t stoop to mek `Case he reckernize his juty, an` he had too much at steak. Well, at dis de pot biled ovah, case his tempah gittin` highah, An` de skillet got to sputterin`, den de fat was in de fiah. Mistah fiah lay daih smokin` an` a-t`inkin` to hisse`f, W`ile de peppah-box us nudgin` of de gingah on de she`f. Den dey all des lef` hit to `im, `bout de trouble an` de talk; An` howevah he decided, w`y dey bofe `u`d walk de chalk; But de fiah uz so `sgusted how dey quoil an` dey shout Dat he cooled `em off, I reckon, w`en he puffed an` des went out.
