Preference
I likes a woman
six or eight or ten years older’n myself.
I don’t fool with these young girls.
Young girls’ll say,
Daddy, I want so-and-so.
I needs this, that, and the other.
But a old woman’ll say,
Honey, what does YOU need?
I just drawed my money tonight
and it’s all your’n.
That’s why I likes a older woman
Who can appreciate me:
When she conversations you,
It ain’t forever Gimme!
Who would say something like this? [Speaker]
Under what circumstances might the speaker say these words? [Situation]
Describe the words used. What can you say about the words the speaker is using? [Diction]
What attitudes do you detect in the speech? [Tone]
