Yorkshire Lass Poem by Lindsey Priest

Have you ever been to Yorkshire on a bright and sunny day,
I know I am biased, but I really have to say,
There’s no better place on earth, and I’ve been to a few,
Yorkshire is the very best, well, that’s my view!

I’ve been to the Grand Canyon which took my breath away,
And to Las Vegas although I didn’t want to play,
Savannah is beautiful, San Francisco is sublime,
But nowhere beats Yorkshire, if you listen to my rhyme.

New Zealand is lovely, I thought I’d let you know,
It’s clean and it’s peaceful, you just go with the flow.
The lakes are so blue and the air is so clear,
But it doesn’t make Yorkshire any less dear.

Nova Scotia in Canada, another great spot,
The roads are lined with trees – there are an awful lot,
But that’s the way it is, I adored being there,
Though I still prefer Yorkshire, if I’m being fair.

English counties are pretty and London is fun,
Visit Scotland and Wales but they’re best in the sun,
The Lakes are spectacular and the Peak District fine,
But it’s to Yorkshire I return, great birthplace of mine.
