Almost from their conception
Our Yorkshire kids are told
About our weather system
And our three degrees of cold,
‘unch, unch, and bloody ‘unch
Peculiar to our County
A climate that makes us ‘ard
And why we treat our weather
With much respect and regard.
That’s why we start ‘em young
Recommend dress that’s best
Clothing suited for the weather
From t-shirt to thermal vest.
We take weather serious in Yorks
It has that style verve and punch.
And we know the difference between
‘unch, ‘unch, and bloody ‘unch.

I just got mi-sen a job.
A mista wants his coal in,
An offed me a bob.
He told me if a hurry up,
A can chop some stiks an all.
But if tha wants another tanna,
A gorra mek um small.
He watched me gerrin coal in,
He anded me a shillin.
If tha wants that extra tanna lad,
Them bags o stiks want fillin.
A BOB and a shilling were the same value
Equivalent to 5 new pence(12 old penny's)
A tanner was 2 1/2 new pence(6 old penny's)

Footprints left on the shores of my life - my father’s,
Amazingly strong to offer refuge and protect shelterless,
Truly compassionate to unfortunate fellow men,
Hard work inspired many to rise above their misfortunes,
Embraced nature and enjoyed company of children,
Reached life's goals with sheer determination, and courage,
Sky's the limit for a man of indomitable spirit and bravery,
Daunting many adverse situations being calm and decisive,
A doting father, a visionary - remembered with immense love and pride,
Yet missed each and every day !

Glasnost, unmuted voice, long overdue
Once Berlin Walls and Iron Curtains fell,
Regime of old school fools he overthrew
Brave Afghan Soviet troops still live to tell.
Achieved social democracy at last,
Cold war, diplomatically, put to rest.
Hard wired propaganda of the past -
Exculpated lies of Wicked Wild West.
Victorious legacy earned at his best.

B-efore the last shot was crucially done,
U-nfazed foe made it through;
D-espite his twenty-six score,
D-eciding twenty-seven came from
Y-ou.
H-ard event on long bombs
I-mpressively was won;
E-very second truly counted,
L-ast shot was crucially
D-one.
