Uffish

At my grade school, we laugh at youse guys. Youse Southern Ontarians. Youse take the Snow Train up to Chapleau to look at snow. We heard one a youse asked a farmer what AI meant. And we heard youse live on Yonge Street, a bad place where a shoeshine boy got killed. Shoeshine boy? At the plant where our dads work, they wear safety boots and no one shines them. Shoeshine boy, that's like out of A Christmas Carol we did in Grade 7 for the play. A girl was Tiny Tim and Scrooge was David Douville in a nightie.
