An da arrows get poison dat jam me up inside!
God do all kine stuff dat make me sked!
Da wild donkey no make noise wen get grass fo eat.
Da cow no make noise wen get food.
But no mo nobody eat food dat no mo taste, ony if dey put salt.

Dat kine food make me come sick.
 
“Fo real, I like get da ting I wen aks fo,
But dat no happen!

Fo wack me wit his fis an cut off my life.

Dey melt, an den da streams come big.
