DEED you evra see Joy Gona wild weeth delight, Jus' so lika small boy W'en som' brighta new toy Mak's heem crazy excite'? You would know w'at I mean Eef you jus' coulda seen -- Not so long time ago -- How my leetla fat pup Ees first play een da snow. O! I scream an' I roar An' so shaka weeth laughtra, Dat my sides dey are sore For mos' three-four days aftra. An' how mooch I would try, I no speak weeth sooch skeell I could put een your eye W'at ees fresh een mine steell: How dat leetla pup romp All aroun' da whole place, How he bark, how he jomp An' fall down on hees face; How he fight, how he bite An' ees tumble aroun', Teell hees cover' weeth white Lik a leetla fat clown; W'at su'prise fill hees eyes W'en he see da flakes sail, How he bark at da skies, How he chasa hees tail. O! I weesh I could show How ees looka, dat pup, How he puff an' he blow W'en hees leecked by da snow An' ees gotta geeve up. An' I sposa, no doubt, You would say I am fibbin' W'en I say hees tongue's out Lika yarda peenk ribbon -- O! how mooch I would try, I no speak weeth sooch skeell I could put een your eye W'at's so fresh een mine steell. But I weesh you had been Where you, too, coulda seen W'at delighta me so -- How my leetla fat pup Ees first play een da snow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LONELY CHILD by JAMES OPPENHEIM BRITANNIA'S PASTORALS: BOOK 2.
