All o them who as n job,

We should gi em a couple o bob.

All who live wi milk n honey

Should gi t them as ave n money.

All o them who's at the top,

Should take as ave nowt to the shop

and buy m stuff like bread n wine

An even take m out to dine.

An all o them who as got clouwt

Should gi to them who as got nowt.

Charity is wot we need

but please don't buy m any weed.

Ang on a minute, av just thought;

I'M ONE O THEM WHO AS JUST NOUGHT!!!!!

All donations thankfully received.

Very good. The dialect reminds me of my late Grandfather.

Hi Jacksc06

I think I must be showing my age. Also although I live in Glossop Derbyshire, I am from Ashton Under Lyne, Lancashire, So it's a bit of an old Lancashire dialect.

My Grandfather was from rural Lincolnshire, It was quite difficult to understand him as a child.

Very good, thank you...

Some of the dialect words would be "proper English" if spelt correctly:

o're, o', 'n, 'm... "n" could be spelt 'n' if it meant "and".
