But ya gots ta know
how this writ'n' thang goes,
it be's 'bout storytellin'
from beginnin' ta en'.
A man onced tells me
I's gots ta be's rich
ta be's a poet,
but I's gots that itch.
so I's scribble down
ev'ry tittle I find,
'cause another man tolds me
it's like a photo defined.
so here I goes
tryin ta tell ya this,
I likes writin' them words
That others did miss.
I writes 'cause ya see's,
it be's that thang ta do.
you knows I means well ,
bein' I ain't a hundred an' two.
I's jus' gets bored sometimes ,
an' start jottin' stuff down.
Then it all comes back to me,
I's 'spose ta be a clown.
Nah na , that can't be right,
I's been sittin' here all night.
I's got this pencil 'n papers ya see,
"Without Jesus, ain't much be's in me .
so if's ya gets
all ser'ous an' stuff,
jus' gets real
an' leaves tha fluff.
Sometimes a work in character voice produces
lines from the heart , Robin .
