HILLBILLY'S FOLLY
Yall come a runnin tar poe-tree con vanshion,
An reedger kool pome taar gests a destankshun!
An yul probly win the big ol' twenny gran

Lessee ma ate tracs now, purt' neer thirdy years,

But Wagner an Snotgrass isa twistin ma arm
Ta deprive tha werld uv ma talent an vishion

Aint never had no lavish banquit 'afore,
An iffn all I brang home is that ol bole
Al keep it fer peenin—ma secant cammode!
