THOMAS.

Why here wer vourteen men, zome years agoo,

A-kept a-drashèn half the winter drough;

An' now, woone's drashels be'n't a bit o' good.

They got machines to drashy wi', plague teäke em!

An' he that vu'st vound out the way to meäke em,

I'd drash his busy zides vor'n if I could!

Avore they took away our work, they ought

To meäke us up the bread our leäbour bought.
