Reverse English

Forceward-Aldo I was not claim to know de whol Eng- lish g-ramaire, me, still I tink I got licens for pass feiv remark on wat I call de "Revers -Hinglish." It ieems to Te, my. frens, dat de Yankee, wen he tilk, was always put de engine en front de caboose. En course, I undirsian she's pretty dam hard for mak change en her, after all dese good many year dat they use heem, same as it has, but still, dere's room for improve some of de bis-ness. - Egf_fou talk- a_n' talk an' don't say notting at all 'cept de difference of de opposite u'at you mean, rihy, lvat's de use, hey ! Dat's wat I call "thot for food."-I. LaRue.

Wen I rvas come on State firs' tam, Dat's many year wats gone, I fine she's hard for spik Eng-lish, Lak Yankee gentillhomme.

I try lak hal for get her right, But she lak to broke my heart, Qause you_Yankee always go an' put De horse before de cart.

Tak fifteen year for me to learn

Dat horse dat got four leg, Was not de same hoarse as you got, Wen have colt on de head. Al-so, wen you hear ttnoise," I ask, Ain't she a Puget "sound ?"

Jus' lak "feel good" you say she's "well," All same "a hole en ground."

Anodder ting was bodder long 'Was "flower" wat grow en fi-l' She's not de same as buckwheat cake. Dat's made from Injun meal.

An', gcarce bleu you know she's queer Dat "tie" on steam rail-way. Was lots of diff-rent from "iie" you wear, Wen pass on holiday.

Eut of all de ting dat mix me up Was wen I come to town, An fren' of mine wat's Tim LaPlante

Was tak an' shew me r6un'. We see mov-ee; play leetle pool; Smoke fine ten-cent cigar. An' den for have wat's call a "smile." We go on Highland Bar.

An' Jim LaPlante, he says to me, "Come, Joe, I buy you drink,"

"Tank you, my fren'," I answer back, "Dat's pretty good, I tink.."

He tak hees glass an' hol' her up, An' spik, "Here's look at you," But he drink de whol bis-ness hisself. Jeem cris; dat's queer to do.

An' de whiskee's name was Green Rivaire. Rivaire, she's water, too;

De ginger ale Jim say was "dty," lfe say, "To hal rvit have encore, Let's have same thing again." cepftdl to h'uild hornes f- "ll/

Bedamme ! I can't see tru.

Den I axe heem will he have encore.

"Spik up, call out her name."

Put fifteen_ year was pass since den, 'Wen firs' I come on State. An' she's easy now for mak de talk, Since I was educate. I use beeg word lak orator, As matter of de course, An' me, I'm always careful to Put buggy 'fore de horse.

S__o_ Canayen wat come on State, (You'll fine her hard, eet's true) Jus'.write your fren', wat's "speech Expert,,, Dat's me, Wat's Joe LaRue.
