Answer:

he paragraph I'm choosing is this one (the words in bold are colloquial words):

"Well, thish-yer Smiley had rat-ta.rriers, and chicken co.cks, and tom- cats, and all of them kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He ketp.hed a frog one day, and took him home, and said he cal'k.lated to ed.ercate him; and so he never done nothing for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little pun.ch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or may be a couple, if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

"Rewritten form of those bolded words only:

"Well, this here Smiley had rat tarriers, and chicken co-cks, and tomcats, and all of the kind of things, till you couldn't rest, and you couldn't fetch nothing for him to bet on but he'd match you. He caught a frog one day, and took him home, and said he calculated to eradicate him, and so he never done anything for three months but set in his back yard and learn that frog to jump. And you bet you he did learn him, too. He'd give him a little punch behind, and the next minute you'd see that frog whirling in the air like a doughnut see him turn one summerset, or maybe a couple if he got a good start, and come down flat-footed and all right, like a cat. "

I need help writing a poem about dogs
ivolga24 [154]
Dog barking, he ran away
Many are afraid of your barking
Even though not everyone barks evil
Though not all who bark bite

Your barking is feared by those who are timid
he really is
Do not like any pet
Even rabbits.

Sometimes I feel sorry to see you alone
Barking in the cold of the night
Breaking the silence with a lonely roar

Maybe someone will care about caring for you later
Take care of you, feed, and invite to play
I hope they find you soon
I hope they come before it's too late

Stay afloat even though it's not easy
Keep barking, keep calm
Hope you are doing fine
Although alone in my loneliness that also became frightened

Can you tell me what is Truthiness?
aniked [119]
That's a non-existent, made-up word.    It was used in a public appearance
several years ago by a high-up political figure, who meant to say 'truthfullness'. 
The word is used now to poke fun and derision at that public figure, or any other
equally pompous, clueless, or verbally challenged one.
