Step Away From the Page!

“I’m gonna get a beebee gun ya dern critters and shoot yer I’s out.”
“That’s right purty ladies grip yer hips, shut yer lips and leave the page.”

“Now who the dern hell else would it be, I wonder?”
“Step away from THAT page tiny Mildred!”
“That’s right, that’s it, dang it, all those dern that’s are giving me a fit.”
Calm down Dad. I think ya’s been a eatin too much alphabet soup?
“Well, I never.” “Aye, aye, I aye, in China they do……..”
“DADDY!”  “Sister grab the beebees. Dad’s trying ta load
 and Bitsy’s wrrrittting!!!

You are so funny!!! At least when you teach...you make us laugh at the same time! (wish some of my old teachers had done that!!) Ps...I removed my "It" from my poem entry...but not sure what you meant by adding poetic devises at the bottom of my poem. I'm leaving for a few days, so If if didn't get it right before I go...that's okay...win some...lose some...but I'm learning as I go !!! :)
