"Hazel Tell LaVerne"-diction

"Swimmin aroun an tryin ta climb the sida the bowl..."  "Hazel Tells LaVerne" by Katharyn Howd Machan is a very cute poem.  It is almost a "remix" of "The Frog Prince."  However, the diction is very different, as shown in the quote of this blog.  The diction proves that the girl is not proper at all.  This adds humor to the poem because she is not meant to be a princess.  "Me a princess"  Even though this poem lacks punctuation, I can tell that the girl is asking herself and basically laughing at herself because she is thinking that there is no way she can ever become a princess.  This poem was one of my favorites!
