Squeezed 'if' — 아님, 그럼

This is what the 'if' ending becomes when speech squeezes it: 아니면 collapses to 아님 and 그러면 to 그럼. Five of these lines are that — or would you rather see me talking, just yours or everyone's, otherwise we couldn't do it, and the set phrase meaning 'and if not, never mind'. Two others show the separate clipped noun ending, as in the line asking what on earth to do. In writing, spell out 아니면 and 그러면.
