Noo Yawk Noo Yawk Poem by Stanley Cooper
Noo Yawk Noo Yawk
Fugetabodit...So typically Noo Yawk
It’s just the way some Noo Yawkers talk
Chickkee, The Coppers...A Noo Yawk expression
It’s just their way to escape apprehension
You Kiddin or What? ...A Noo Yawk motif
A Noo Yawkers way to express disbelief
Git Addu Here...A warning to some
When you hear it, you know where it’s from
The Water’s Burling...Don’t get boint
Cooking in Hell’s Kitchen, or some other hot jernt
Ringalevio...Noo Yawk kids compete
A fun kind of game they play in the street
B.M.T., I.R.T. Third Avenue El
The systems of subways, in Noo Yawk excel
The Show Must Go On...Kernd on Broadway
No one knows why, it’s said to this day
America’s melting pot, known for it’s crowds
Of it’s diversity, Noo Yawkers can be proud
Noo Yawk Noo Yawk, so Time Square-able
There’s no place like it...that’s quite compare-able

I love these wonderful accents from all the different places, they add spice to the day. Even we here in the UK have some very funny sayings and words, depending on the region we live in. In Derbyshire, East Midlands people tend to emphasis the middle of words, like hoSPItal, umBRELLa, cHILd. A 'jetty' is a walkthrough alley, and to be 'mardy' is to be off colour or moody. I actually come from Wiltshire in the south, which can be very broad in speaking, like herrt for hurt, and loike for like, oih for I. and a 'jetty' in the south is what you tie your boat up to. So interesting to study these various accents. And they can vary within a few miles of each other. Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, all have their own special language. Loved reading this one, thank you for posting it, it's great. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
