Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

'all Well' Or Oil Well

Deep Southern accents
    today rarely heard
  except in a handful of words

  But New Yorkers still manage
    to talk so darn fast
  their reputation as windbags
    forever will last

John Lawless June 13, 2023 at 7:26 PM someone once asked "what's the difference between a New Yorker and a Bostonian"> It's simple....a New Yorker will tell you to "GO TO HELL!!"....A Bostonian will tell you HOW TO GET THERE.... Gershon Wolf June 14, 2023 at 8:23 PM And a Climate-Change Activist will say, 'Isn't this Hell right here, right now, as he gets scorched by a piece of bar-b-q hot charcoal that just happened to be in the vicinity.

Love the Northerner…I speak that language! <3 Gershon Wolf June 14, 2023 at 8:21 PM Ha, ha! My grandmother, from Galveston, TX (1896-1992), Ada Blankfield, used to say 'All' for 'Oil.' She always wanted an 'All-Well' in her backyard, the dear!
