Oop On't Ikley Moor

[ChristopherSea]

Clive found his thrill oop Ont' Ilkley Moor, I see. I found the piece reminiscent of Fats Domino's Blueberry Hill. Kind of a Brit version with some very nice bits. Without even knowing the gypsy reference, the line added some color to the scene. Love that expression, 'they went without hat'! For some reason it evoked the Joe Cocker/Randy Newman tune and antithesis, 'You can leave your hat on.' I was wondering if that passing 'chap' was truly suspecting rain while ducking to tie his shoes or just copping a peek at Violet's assets. I don't really have any suggestions for the poem, but wanted to let you know that I enjoyed this.
