Intellectual Limitations

Parunts knows lots more than us,
But they don’t know all things,–
‘Cause we ketch ’em, lots o’ times,
Even on little small things.
One time Winnie ask’ her Ma,
At the winder, sewin’,
What’s the wind a-doin’ when
It’s a-not a-blowin‘?
Yes, an’ ‘Del’, that very day,
When we’re nearly froze out,
He ask’ Uncle where it goes
When the fire goes out?
Nen I run to ask my Pa,
That way, somepin’ funny;
But I can’t say ist but “Say,”
When he turn to me an’ say,
“Well, what is it, Honey?”
