Yorkshire Days

When I was a girl we had nothing much Ate home made cooking and played as such No computers or gadgets in our home But we didn’t mind and we didn’t moan Me and my brother thought it were great To ride on our bikes but we couldn’t be late If we didn’t get home in time for our tea It was a clip round the ear hole for him and me We played outside in the freezing cold Respected our elders and did as told Casseroles and Stews with dumplings in a pot When we got home from school we ate the lot We spoke when spoken to didn’t dare not We were grateful for everything that we got Times were hard but we had so much fun Playing outside till the day was done Innocent times we shared back then Times of old from way back when Enjoyed ourselves laughed and cried Right up until the Innocence died
