I am in awe of such technical expertise and fluency of patois. I
must admit, I understand absolutely nothing (except individual
words, for the most part) of the above paragraph. It reminds me of
one of my favorite Charlie Brown cartoons, in which Charlie, Lucy
and the piano player (Can't remember his name at the moment) are
lying on their backs staring at clouds passing overhead. Lucy says
something like, "Ah yes, I see the Reformation struggle of
Christianity," the next one observes, "For me, the shapes represent
a typical Rorschach test," and Charlie thinks (in the bubble), "I
was going to say I thought I saw a lamb and a doggie, but I'm going
to keep it to myself."
Count me in on the Charlie side.
Cheers,
Dean
