A Yorkshire Version of Genesis. By Mike O 'Dowd.

Credit to Mike O'Dowd for this bible work.

In't beginning there was nowt
and God said "Let theer be leet" and there was leet
And he could see fer miles.

On't fust day God created Yorkshire,
and he looked, and he sayeth,
"It is good."

On't second day He created t'beeasts of t'field
and t'air - whippets, lurchers and pigeons -
And he sayeth "It is good"

On't third day he created Yorkshireman,
who was strong in t'arm and
could call a spade a shovel,
ter hold dominion over Yorkshire and
beeasts of t'field and t'fowls in t'air
and ter look out for Yorkshire,
and He sayeth "It is good ".

On't fourth day he created Yorkshirelass,
who were fair of face and strong in t'arm,
who could make Yorkshire puds,
and skivvy for Yorkshireman.
And he sayeth "It is good".

On't fifth day he created the oceans,
the fairest being t'North Sea,
thet filled the coastline of Yorkshire
with unlimited beauty and provided fish
for Yorkshireman and his Lass.
And he sayeth "It is good".

On't sixth day he created the rest of the world
and as he was running out of ideas
he created Lancashire.
And he looked, and he looked again
And he sayeth "By heck, after all this work
I think I need a day off."
