Though she's a factory lass and wears no fancy clothes baraabum yet I've a sort of a Yorkshire relish for my little Yorkshire rose baraabum.

My hands in my jacket pockets forget to salute but I offer to the ladies the bold admiration of my eyes and the red flower between my lips.
|
|
|
I present to the leaders' skyblue frontlets and high action a skyblue tie, widebrimmed straw hat at a rakish angle and suit of indigo serge.
|
|
|
By the provost's wall I come jauntily, stepping in tan shoes and socks with skyblue clocks to the refrain of My girl's a Yorkshire girl.

|
|
|
@BLONDEINTHRNTNS -- Can you send them by tram? Now?
|

I turn suddenly from a chip of strawberries, draw a gold watch from my fob and hold it at its chain's length.
|
|
|
I walk here and there in new tan shoes about the fruitsmelling shop, lifting fruits, young juicy plump red tomatoes, sniffing smells.
|
|
|
@BLONDEINTHRNTNS -- That'll do, game ball.
|
|
|
I hand her the bottle swathed in pink tissue paper and a small jar. @BLONDEINTHRNTNS -- Put these in first, will you?
