He shocks corn an’ shucks it.—An’

He makes hominy “by han’!”—

Wunst he bringed us some, one trip,

Tied up in a piller-slip:

Pa says, when Ma cooked it, “My!

This-here’s gooder’n you buy!”

Ponchus pats fer me an’ sings;

An’ he says funny things!

Ponchus calls a dish a “deesh”—

Yes, an’ he calls fishes “feesh”!
