The snipe iz a gray, misterious bird, who git up out ov low, wet places
quick, and git back again quick.
They are pure game, and are shot on the move.
They are az tender tew brile az a saddle rok oyster, and eat az eazy az
sweetmeats.
The snipe haz a long bill (about the length ov a doktor's) and git a
living bi thrusting it down into the fat earth, and then pumping the
juices out with their tounge.
I hav seen snipe so phatt that when they waz shot 50 feet in the air and
phell on to the hard ground, they would split open like an egg.
This will sound like a lie to a man who never haz seen it did, but after
he haz seen it did, he will feel different about it.
