There have been many versions of “This Is Just To Say” by William Carlos Williams
This is the original, followed by a Scottish dialect one, and then my take, of the take(!):
William Carlos Williams:
This Is Just To Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Tom Leonard (Scottish dialect):
Jist ti Let Yi No
ahv drank
thi speshlz
that wurrin
thi frij
n thit
yiwurr probbli
hodn back
furthi pahrti
awright
they wur great
thaht stroang
thaht cawld
Justin Tuijl:
Totally chuffed that
I’ve snorted
yer charly
that yer were
hidin’ in the lav
and what
yer were totally
holdin’
out on me wiv
Fuck right off
it werra top class
sweet hit
and sick
