Aw There

Ye tripped an fell 
an thorns gave you 
a skelf.
Aw there.

Ye clyped to tell

a skelp.
Aw there.

Looked right and left
because you are  
so skelly.
Aw there.

Then oor da left
coz yoor no right. 
Naw really, yer no 
aw there.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
