Moving Up North

We moved up North and settled down. We moved to Egremont, a crying out town. Crying out for money to be invested, alas! Not too many people were interested. Alas. The people are good, wholesome and true, A community of strength, of township glue. It has a church, a dentist and great vets, It has a post office and shop selling pets. It has a memorial where time stands still. A grocers, a bakers sounding their tills. Several schools, a library, even a bookies And best of all Old Grandmas' cookies. We moved up North to start afresh; anew. We lost some friends but only a few; Their 'last post' heard across the vale, Echoing memories into far distant pale. Not all was lost. As time went by We made friends anew; the chosen few. The snow capped mountains, crystal lakes. All worthwhile, we did what it takes. We moved up North and settled down, We moved to Egremont, a crying out town. Crying for money to be invested, alas! Not too many people were interested. Alas.
