YORKSHIRE BREW

Yorkshire stands proud of its men

(not sure about the women).

It's what can get you famous.

Nobbut a lad etcetera

charming the arse off the elite

with mud on't feet. 

 

And as for that painter fella

stained glass window in t'Palace of Westminster

seat a't power,

no problem now they've got rid of the bloody tower. 

 

So! We stand tall, grander than 'em all

and can turn a trick or two wit' fettling

whatever that means,

don't matter tha' don't know

but it goes a long way by 'eck

 

wait a sec...

important matters come to hand,

i'm (sorry, we're) helping the underprivileged

and that's a fact

so stick that where the sun don't shine

you've got your place

and i've definitely got mine.

Thank you Anya for looking in on this. It's a sad abandoned dog of a poem that has no owner. I appreciate your flower.

We must always move on, upward and onward.

Thanks for your support MC. I'm afraid you're on your own, so we should go hand in hand and face the silence.

I feel I have let myself down, but what the hell, nobody's perfect (especially Yorkshiremen).

Entertaining and a wee bit naughty - thanks!
I recall words from the great American Anglophile, Alan Jay
Lerner, placed in the mouth of Professor Higgins in "My Fair
Lady" -
"Hear a Yorkshireman - or worse,
Hear a Cornishman converse...
I'd rather hear a choir singing flat..."
Yorkies can have a high opinion of themselves - which is maybe just as well when that view can be absent elsewhere.
