“Were goo’int av cump’ny today
Neaw a wa’ant yo do what yo towd
I don’t wa’ant yo manki’in abeawt
Burr I wa’ant yo be as good as gowd”.
Aunty Winney it wuz uz wuz com’in
The one whose eye all’us flickers
Everyone thowt her wuz posh
I reckon it’s fur coat, un no nickers.
Neaw,we ad’nt much jackbit in’t pantry
So mi mam made a plate praytuh pie
“Ickle be awreet”, her said, “wi some carrots”
“That er’d be grand” answered I.
“For afters we’ll have jelly un custer’t”
Her said wi her best’ist posh voice
“Un av made a nice sing’in lily
So that Winney has gett’n
a choice”.
