T'other day aw turned eawt to admire thi performance, Tntendin' to write a few lines i' thi praise; But tha quenched every spark o' poetical fervour, When tha wet mi best clooas, an' spat i' mi face. One loikes to be friendly an' gradely wi' strangers, When they come deawn to spend a few days wi' us here; But iv this is thy way o' returnin' a kindness, Tha'Il have but few friends deawn at Blackpool, aw fear.
