A yellow-belly proud to be <br />Its Lincolnshire I’m from you see <br />There many a thousand just like me <br />Where Lincoln Imps smile happily <br /> <br />Years gone by they tried to change her <br />Our borders they did rearrange her <br />But Humberside just sounded stranger <br />A lost identity the danger <br /> <br />Up in arms the votes were cast <br />This Humberside must never last <br />We pinned our colours to the mast <br />Return the Bellies from the past <br /> <br />Once again the public tried <br />Change back our borders can’t abide <br />The imps don’t like your Humberside <br />When Lincolnshire returned they cried <br /> <br />At last we made the councils see <br />It’s Lincolnshire we want to be <br />For Yellow-Bellies just like me <br />Where we can all live happily <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles & Rhymes<br /><br />David Threadgold www.davidthreadgold.com<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/5-the-yellow-bellies/
