Santa Is a Yorkshire Man

To put an end to the myth that Santa lives in Lapland Santa is a Yorkshire man everybody knows that People just say he's from Lapland, cos he’s round and fat. Well Yorkshire men can be the same they are not all dud All year on the beer and whiskey, washed down with Yorkshire pud. Santa is a Yorkshire man everybody in Yorkshire knows that You say the Lapland Santa, glows warm and are red, and fat. Well Yorkshire Santa’s have glowing bits, but they keep them out of sight Except on Christmas Eve when their pants have got too tight. Santa is a Yorkshire man so stop making such a fuss A Santa who know what’s what, so you can call on us If your chimney is too tight, Yorkshire Santa will let you know He’ll leave your present’s elsewhere, and you will have to go. To collect you gifts is your own fault if your chimney is too small Don’t expect him to get up there, he doesn’t want to fall. A spade is a spade wherever you go Santa will tell you that If you want to get your presents early, try Ilkley moor barh t at. They meet there on Christmas Eve to swap gifts and stories too That’s why they all have glowing bits, I bet you would have too. He doesn’t have time to mess about, you people should know that Santa is a Yorkshire man, there’s no more to say that’s that. Yorkshire folk are know for being down to earth and saying what they see, ie a spade is a spade and not an earth moving device. Ilky Moor Bar tat a famous Yorkshire Folk song where lovers meet and she chides him for not wearing a hat. The winds of the moor causing death and he will be eaten by worms and so on (google it) Repost fromLast year. ~GG~ 2011 ©

This is a beautiful Christmas poem about Santa who, contrary to common belief does not hail from Lapland, but from Yorkshire. Learning does not end. Thank you. There’s no more to say that’s that!
