Tough Goin' Poem by Douglas Scotney
Tough Goin'
As a Queenslander I'm told
I say fuel for fool
Go to skewel not school
'But hey' is a vocabulary tool.
When throating an alien
I'm not South Australian
I don't make flu of a cold.
I was fueled on hey but,
Skeweled to be tough,
To me the flu is a cold,
No more than three letters in 'fluff'.
1 - after the first three lines, i got a little lost. there is a little language barrier between and some North Carolina folk, as i was (western) New York (State) born and raised. one guy here said his name is Teddy, but i paused a moment and asked if he'd said Katy/Katie [ a 'woman's ' name ]. then i figured out he'd said Teddy. & i suppose he figured out i was just visiting the area.

The going gets tough when you have a heavy cold or flu. I have noticed these subtle differences in pronunciation when travelling in Australia. M. Walker.
