OWD GRONIES. WEEL met, weel met, owd crony! Awm gradely fain, for sure; Awd nobbut just bin thinkin Wed never meet no mooar. Whatevers bin to do, like? Wheer hesta put thisel?

Thers nowt i t world mooar cheerin Nor simple harmless fun; An while were spared together Well hev what bit we con. Away wi melancholy — Weve met for summat else, Were here to-neet wi spirits leet, An well enjoy eawrsels.
