On clearing out some very very old e-mails I found the following. It gave me a chuckle.

Here is a Yorkshireman’s Grace,

Thank you God and make us able
To eight as much as what’s on’t table
Then God if thy bounty beckons
We’ll leave room enough for ‘seconds’,


and after the meal.


Thank you God for what we’ve getten
If moor ‘ad been cut moor ‘ad been etten
