One Day

One day I will marry

a Cornish girl,

we’ll live by the harbour

and travel the world,

sunlight will dance

on her amber curls –

one day I will marry

a Cornish girl.

One day I will marry

a Yorkshire lass,

an ochre-eyed beauty

her hair in a clasp.

Queen of the Dales,

the wind-beaten grass –

one day I will marry

a Yorkshire lass.

One day I will marry

a gypsy gal,

we’ll sleep in the ivy,

wherever we shall,

star-share our secrets

and never tell –

one day I will marry

a gypsy gal.

New Yah Prayer

New Yah Prayer

 

May the next year be as glittery,

may daddy stay the boss,

may mummy keep her credit cards

(and no one make a loss)

 

May fingers stay bejewelled,

may my pony be well-fed,

may Benedict make eyes at me,

(not Harmony instead)

 

May my wardrobe be this season,

may my music taste stay cool,

may I make 1000 Facebook friends

and captivate the school.

 

May we air kiss as we celebrate

the best of everything.

So come on everybody,

let the bells of New Yah ring!
