Gnats...A Poem
"Yuh see them liddle gnats
a-flyin' over thar?
That cloud a liddle gnats
a-jumpin n' a-friskin'
n' a-fornicatin';
a-crawlin' all over each other,
a-flappin' thar wangs,
a-lappin' up lahf
in the sunshine,
mebbe fer a day er two?
"They's jest lack us.
That's us over thar
a-friskin' n' a-fartin',
a-hootin' n' a-hollerin'
fer a bit,
a-warmin' in th' sun.
Then it's all over n' done.
That's th' end of it.
N' more gnats lack us
a-come along
n' do the same thang,
n' they thank
they's a-goin' t' live ferever, too,
jest the way we did.
Haw. Haw. Haw."
