April 1st…“WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE BOY, WERE SOME WORDS MORE DIFFICULT TO SAY THAN OTHERS?”
POEM – “Thertan Werds” by N. Elliott Noorlun
When I wuth jutht(was just), A widdo (little) kid,
I twide (tried) to thpeek(speak), Like udders (others) did.
But thertan werds (certain words), Jutht nebber (just never) came,
Ands when day laffed (they laughed), I jutht (just) felt lame.
I pwayed (played) a tigar (guitar), That hed thixth stwings (had six strings),
And when it camed (came), Tew farmin’ tings (to farming things),
Daddy hauled dat thtuff (that stuff), From outta dah (out of the) cow,
Wit big nur predder (manure spreader), Peeyoo and how.
Big’um werds (Big words), Were nebber were my ting (never my thing),
When me’s was widdo (I was little), Upon my thwing (swing)!! 😉
