The Yorkshire and Lancashire Rose
The Yorkshire rose gently holds the Lancashire rose
Striking a remarkable pose
A longtime since the War of the Roses did end
They have since become firm friends
Almost holding hands
Across the wonderful sea and lands
Crispy Yorkshire puds or a steaming Lancashire Hotpot
Both will fill you right up
To your very top
Delicious and hot
Hitting the right spot
Maureen Lipman famous for her ologies
Hull’s adopted son of poetry
Philip Larkin
He’s just sparkling
Moving up into Top Gear
Freddie Flintoft suddenly appears
Now some cool and animated fun
Nick Park
He’s the clever one
Remember Wallis and Grommet
Now take a deep breath
Take a big step
Breathe in the fresh clean air
Feel the wind in your ruffled hair
Beautiful hills, cities and coasts
York and Morecambe never seem to fail
Yorkshire and Lancashire will always prevail
The white Yorkshire rose gently holds the blood spilt red rose
Striking the most remarkable pose
Many gentle petals hold this beautiful rose
A strong green stern
Solidifies these friendly folks and foes Along with the history of the Yorkshire Rose and Lancashire Rose
Striking a sweet scented blood red and white pose
