Pork Pie on Ilkley Moor, by Allan Robinson

Pork Pie on Ilkley Moor

Didn’t really want to wear mi hat

It wasn’t raining when I came out of my flat,

The sun was shining it wasn’t cold

But as you can see this man is bald.

I walked to Ilkley it started to rain

And thinking to myself this is a pain,

Walked to the butchers shop to buy

One pork pie it looked really nice

When it caught my eye.

Then up the Ilkley moor I walked

My pie in my pocket not in my hand

The weather wasn’t really grand,

Rain kept falling down with

Puddles forming all around.

My shoes my clothes were all getting wet

As I climbed began to sweat

Getting near to the top of the moor

Thinking of the pie I could not ignore

as I arrived at to the top that pork pie I had to scoff

(2013)

Daft peom but wonderful yorkshire pork pies scoffed on Ilkley Moor. So Yorkshire
