The grammar strays a bit intentionally, including the very last line where "I've" would be correct, but "I" is right for this speaker.
I have one called "Senses of Direction" that I won't post because it is written with a pure "redneck dialect" that is written and reads almost like a foreign language: it really only works as a spoken poem.
I was going to do a similar treatment with this one, but backed off so that it would at least be readable when posted. This'uns jes gottin a sprinklin o' sum'at kinda lang'age in 'er...

I figured the grammar was intentional. As for the dialect, I think it could work if it's accurate. For instance, if I tried writing "redneck dialect" I don't think it would work because I'm not familiar with it.
