Explore "The Little Town o' Tailholt (in Dialect)" by James Whitcomb Riley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
You kin boast about yer cities, and their stiddy growth and size, / And brag about yer County-seats, and business enterprise, / And railroads, and factories, and all sich foolery -- / But the little Town o' Tailholt is big enough fer me!
You kin harp about yer churches, with their steeples in the clouds, / And gas about yer graded streets, and blow about yer crowds; / You kin talk about yer "theaters," and all you've got to see -- / But the little Town o' Tailholt is show enough fer me!
