Also beware that words such as "all," in spoken dialect, would like as
not shrink to "a'", "the" to "th," esp. if in front of a vowel, etc.
Northern dialects most guilty of this. Banborough is two syllables--BAN
brough. I'd go with stresses and play with elisions--see what you can
come up with...

Excuse me but can I be you for a while
My dog won't bite if you sit real still
I've got the antichrist
in the kitchen yelling at me again
