No Hemming Or Hawing



Brushed with vernacular paint
Is "Is you is or is you ain't " ?
Not linguistically correct
But emphatically direct
It's beyond linguistic restraint

The question's abundantly clear
Asked straight as an arrow or spear
With a forthright perspective
It states it's objective
Though voiced in a manner austere

Succinct with expressive insight
Neither hackneyed or awkwardly trite
There's no hemming or hawing
With this colorful jawing
An extraordinary writer's delight

Hi Stan, I love the vernacular :) I think what I love about the english language, is that it is so adaptable!
