Say!

Mr Oscar Asche believes that there are Australian people of writing better plays than the "trash" from America, where they do not use or speak the same language as we do.

Say, what's this guy know about it
anyway? Tryin' to hand us a lemon,
is he? Tryin' to put one across us!
An' who is this Asche bird who shoots
off his mouth about reel high-class
Amurican drammer bein' "tosh"? S'pose,
he reckons it's punk. Plays dinky little
Willie-boy parts in Shakespeare
himself, so I've heard. Look-a-here,
this Shakespeare guy ain't got nothin'
on us. I'd like to seen this Asche boy
put it over on one of our reel Western
drammers. Be-lieve me he'd be dead up
against it. Anyways, I'm sure glad
that us in Gawd's own country don't
speak the same lingo as he does. If
"tosh" is any sort of a sample our
language is newer an' we got no use
for them fresh boys who wants to
side-track our drammer export business.
An' I guess I've spoke a mouthful.
