    Don't Be What You Isn't
    Don't be what you isn't,
    Jes be what you is.

    If you isn't what you am
    den you ain't whatchoo is.

    If you a lil tadpole
    don't try to be no frog.

    If you is jes the tail
    den don't try to be duh dog.

    You can always pass 'roun duh plate
    iffin you don't know how to preach.

    If yurh jes a lil pebble
    den don't try to be duh beach.

    Don't be what you isn't ch'ile
    jes be what you is.

    Loved it. Great advise to all.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
