Jenny
Stewart's Poems
In Caithness Dialect
How Do Moarnanes Affect Ye? by Jenny S Stewart |
Fit are ye lek at e start o eych day fan e
clockie goes off wi a ring? Div ye lowp fey e covers, bright richt awey an wonder fit iss day will bring? Or drag up wan eyelid then drop id back doon an declare at yur clockie's gone mad, 'Cause id's no at long since ye crawled 'tween e sheets, so ye turn back ower, though id's bad. Then ye drift back off till a land full o clouds
as ye snuggle back under e cleys, Now ma dad's wan o them at eye wakens wi start an
he's wound up richt fey e word go, Wance ah'm sleepin, at's hid, ye could do fit ye
lek, an ah'd sleep through a nuclear attack, Iss moarnane ah dreymt ah wiz deyd, up in hivvin,
on golden harp playin a tune, Now, e funny thing is, if ah'm no steyin at homm,
ah'm up at first ring o e bell, |
