Who knew ah had fallen intah dis game?
Whar alle dah "faces" be rilly dah same!

Who knew ah wuz addicted.. and, hung up on dis life?
Watchin it cut up mah day.. like dah bestest kinna knife.

Who knew dah mo it stayed.. dah deepah dah attrakshun?
Fallin undah its spell wuz a reel sweet satisfakshun!

Wale.. sertunly not me.. ah wuz dumb as a rock!
And .. when ah found out.. amagin mah shock!

It happened so suddenly.. like a bolt outta dah blue..
Ah got completely cut off .. but why? Who knew?????

Yep.. ah'm an addik.. and.. ah know ah aint alone..
Ders a bunch of othahs dat be bad to dah bone.

So as ah sit heah usin anothah's "source"..
Ah jest had dah tell y'all about it .. of coahse!

Dem three little lettahs dat did abandun me..
Is whut sum of y'all know as.. mah dang ISP!!

Wale .. doan wurry.. ah aint gonna sit heah and "stew!!
Ya see.. ah dun figgahed out "I" am dah one "WHO KNEW"!!

I got the message of this poem, but found it very difficult to read in the style it's posted.

For White Rose.. and, any other readers... :-)

This poem was written in "southern drawl".
Not meant to be taken seriously.  Nor to confuse.
I hope you will take it for what it's worth.
Thanks
Scarlet

I should have known that, I live in the south. That puts a whole new light on it now. They sure do talk that way down here. You captured that perfectly.

LOL I'm glad you know, because I most certainly don't! A little too hard for the Dutch to translate to "normal" English, but it was fun trying!
