Fopdoodle Sonnet

A FOPDOODLE SONNET
Hello y'all,
no more cherry-picking
and double speak,
it just ain't right !

Say,dude,
are you out to lunch?
your dialect 
is pure music!

Fair dinkum though,
strine it is not,
nor polite English,
more an Americanism!

Ok, it's pc ,I grant
a royal shibboleth,
douable grammar
and all that jazz!

What? What's that you 
say?
Speechcraft is in your dna 
!

This  is a poem based on 
history of one hundred 
English words, now part of 
our language.A National 
newspaper invited 
poems to include at least 
25.This is my attempt.
