FALSE FRIENDS-LIKE.

When I wer still a bwoy, an' mother's pride,

A bigger bwoy spoke up to me so kind-like,

"If you do like, I'll treat ye wi' a ride

In theäse wheel-barrow here." Zoo I wer blind-like

To what he had a-workèn in his mind-like,

An' mounted vor a passenger inside;

An' comèn to a puddle, perty wide,

He tipp'd me in, a-grinnèn back behind-like.

Zoo when a man do come to me so thick-like,
