Fo' all that you wasn’t hateful.
Now you got all grim and gospel.
Sorry, you is sick and shame.
Sorry you drinkin misery tea.

Don’t see why you think it’s proper to take it out on me.
Caroline

I don’t think you got perspective on what the Gospel is!
Dotty Moffet

Leastest thing that, they could teach you. Is not to talk on what you’s wholly,
completely, abysmally ignorant of!
Dotty
