Paul Laurence Dunbar - Time To Tinker `Roun`!
Work rating: Low

Summah `s nice, wif sun a-shinin`,
    Spring is good wif greens and grass,
  An` dey `s some t`ings nice `bout wintah,
    Dough hit brings de freezin` blas;
  But de time dat is de fines`,
    Whethah fiel`s is green er brown,
  Is w`en de rain `s a-po`in`
    An` dey `s time to tinker `roun.

  Den you men`s de mule`s ol` ha`ness,
    An` you men`s de broken chair.
  Hummin` all de time you `s wo`kin`
    Some ol` common kind o` air.
  Evah now an` then you looks out,
    Tryin` mighty ha`d to frown,
  But you cain`t, you `s glad hit `s rainin`,
    An` dey `s time to tinker `roun`.

  Oh, you `ten`s lak you so anxious
    Evah time it so`t o` stops.
  W`en hit goes on, den you reckon
    Dat de wet `ll he`p de crops.
  But hit ain`t de crops you `s aftah;
    You knows w`en de rain comes down
  Dat`s hit`s too wet out fu` wo`kin`,
    An` dey `s time to tinker roun`.

  Oh, dey `s fun inside de co`n-crib.
    An` dey `s laffin` at de ba`n;
  An` dey `s allus some one jokin`,
    Er some one to tell a ya`n.
  Dah `s a quiet in yo` cabin,
    Only fu` de rain`s sof soun`;
  So you `s mighty blessed happy
    W`en dey `s time to tinker `roun`!
