Stayin' Right Here

I’m stayin’ right where I am
Don’t plan goin’ no  place ‘cept
Here, sittin’ on this milkin’ can.
Nothin’ movin’ right now..slept
Like a lamb yist’rday.
Paw’s been callin’ my name
But I’m doin’ the low lay
And keepin’ outa sight jest the same
‘cause I don’t wanna do what he say.
So, I stay put right here
Mindin’ my bizness the rest ‘o’ the day.

I love this!

It is so bloody hard to capture a vernacular as you have done, and made it look easy. Makes me green with envy. And, here's one for the books, I am lost for words at exactly what it is you evoked with such beauty and clarity. cheers
