Nae dinner again.

Nae dinner again

shouting we'res ma dosh,

they wains have had nae nosh
all slumped in his chair
he's drunk and Disney care
an wen he wakes up
he'll even want mare.

Hi Rosina.
I thought so. Love the dialect and you portray it wonderfully. Sad write though, I hope it is an imagined situation. Wonderful to hear the voice. Unfortunately I sound like a middle classed Englishman 'cos, um, I'm a middle classed Englishman. Sorry.
Welcome to Cosmofunnell,
Nigel.

Rosina, I lived in Grangemouth in early 1970. (On my mothers side I am a McAlpine and that is the side of the family I have pride in). Then, after only a brief time in Scotland, my inconsiderate parents took me to the safe, suburban security of south east England. 
Thinking of this poem with the 1970's edge to it I am even more blown away. Fantastic ink.
Nigel.
