I'm intrigued by what the use of a dialect gives in the writing of a poem... almost like a freedom from the tyrrany of using 'usual' words in the construction of sentences, must be quite a brilliant experience and an interesting way of developing ones poetic muscles! - Inspirational!
With regard to the poem itself, the dialect portrays an attitude (maybe a little stereotyped but that's a very nit-picky). I feel there's an opportunity to explore the idea further perhaps being more positive about the narrator's attitude than critical of "them's" but that may be just a decision of taste. I think this is clever and good.
