Tourist Guide To Balmer

Near to Balmer, MD, not far from WaRshington
(that's DC to you and me)
is the capuhtal, Naplis.
It's a beautiful spot, right on the Chespeeke Bay.

Or if you like hunning, a trip to the forests
North of DC will satisfy yer yen.
After that, we'll come back home to Balmer
and Ah'll buy you all a soda and cigrettes.

Then I ken give ya duhrections to
the historic Fahr Hause where the fahrman stay,
and after that we ken go to the theAter.
So whaddya think? Anywhere else ya wanna go at?

The laundrymat? Okey dokey.
I ken see yer cloze are in need of warshing.
Ah'll go with ya and we'll play games 
and drink a beur or two--make a night of it.
Go grab yer laundry.
Let's get thar before peepul take all the warshers.

Whaddya mean I have a accent?
That's ridiculous. 
You're the one with the accent.
Sheesh!

                                                                  Mary, July 11, 2015

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it. ANd FYI,people from Baltimore are called Baltimoreans unless they're from other parts of MD, in which case they're called BaltiMORONs.
