I WUD knot dye in wintur, When whiski punchez flo; When pooty galls air skatin' O'er fealds ov ice an' sno; When sassidge-meet is phrying, And hickrie knuts is thick; Owe! who kud think of dighing, Or even gettin' sick? I wud knot dye in springtime, And miss the turnup greens, And the pooty song ov the leetle fraugs, And the ski-lark's airly screams. When burds begin thare wobbling, And taters 'gin to sprout, When turkies go a-gobblering, I wud knot then peg out. I wud knot dye in summer, And leave the gard'n sass, The roasted lam, and buttermilk, The kool plase in the grass; I wud knot dye in summer, When everything's so hot, And leave the whiski jew-lips -- Owe know! Ide ruther knott. I wud knot dye in ortum, With peeches fitt fur eating, When the wavy corn is gettin' wripe, An' Kandidates is treating; Phor these and other wreasons Ide knot dye in the fall, And -- sinse I've thort it over -- I wud knot dye at all. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SITTING BULL IN SERBIA by WILLIAM JAY SMITH TO THE EXCELLENT ORINDA by PHILO PHILIPPA EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 1 by ALEXANDER POPE THE GIFT OF THE GODS by JOHN GODFREY SAXE TO CHRISTOPHER NORTH by ALFRED TENNYSON BEAU NASH by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER BEAU NASH AND THE ROMAN, OR THE TWO ERAS by CHARLES TENNYSON TURNER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
