'da Bums!


Poem Artwork


 

 
 

 

We live in Noo Yawk
On toidy-toid & a
toid street where da
place used to be nice
& now it’s a terlet.

Visitors come here &
tink we’re duh-ta-duh,
& we say, “You got a
lotta crap wichoo! ” &
call them a gavoon!

And then we tell them
to, “Go see where ya
gotta go! ” “Da gates
are closed! ” then
pull a fugazy on dem.

We jump in our scash-
a-bang lookin’ for a
skinny female molink,
because we’re so cheap we
still got our communion money!

‘2008’ RLS

Lance,

Great poem. My aunt is from Queens and that's just as bad. Whenever we talk on the phone, I have to really listen to what she's saying. You got that accent down!
