Coney Island And There-A-Bouts Poem by Stanley Cooper

To learn their foreign language doesn’t come with ease
Only natives of the Isle of Coney speak this Brooklyn-eze
Their parents they refer to as “dare fodders” and “dare mudders”
While older sibling rivals are “dare olda bigga brudders”
Sophisticates in Manhattan refer to “these” and “those”
But in Brooklyn-eze their counterparts are known as “Deeze” and “Doze
Brooklyn-eze, they claim is derived from the English language
Most British folk react to this with cockneyed English anguish
But Brooklyn-ites don’t give a hoot, they love their Brooklyn-eze
They’ll go on speaking as they please, including “Doze” and “Deeze”
