Thanks to Wikipedia another insight into why I sound so strange … really, it is still English … just

A Yorkshire Poem

There’s niver nowt, but-what there’s summat.

And when-there’s summat, it’s-offen nowt.

And them-that allus’ thinks they’re-summat,

‘as-nearly allus-risen fray-nowt.

It’s no-use sittin-an-waitin’ for summat,

‘Cos more-offen, it’ nobbut’ ends-wi’nowt.

An’ come to-think on-it’, these lines I’ve penned,

Are-myst-lee summat’ abart-nowt

Translated:

There is never nothing, but there is always something.

And when there is something, it is often nothing.

And those that think they are something special,

have nearly always come from nothing.

It’s of no use waiting for something,

because more often than not, it ends with nothing.

And if I think about it, these lines I have penned/written

are mostly something about nothing.
