Sometimes I think 'at Parents does
  Things ist about as bad as _us_--

  Wite 'fore our vurry eyes, at that!
  Fer one time Pa he scold' my Ma
  'Cause he can't find his hat;
  An' she ist _cried_, she did! An' I
  Says, "Ef you scold my Ma
  Ever again an' make her cry,
  Wy, you sha'n't _be_ my Pa!"
  An' nen he laugh' an' find his hat
  Ist wite where Ma she said it's at!
