Lines on an old Photograph

Amongst these streets grand lives were lived
in old Hunslet and the Carr,
we'er foreign words like the'er and sith
were spake to thee and tha.
 
When flat cap and headscarf were worn
and hens sat on the'er eggs,
no wasted food for owt were borne
to pigs who reet grandly et them dregs.
 
When bike or leg or bus or tram
were allus good for us,
and meals were allus made by Mam
coz Pa had earned the crust.
 
Well, fashions come and fashions go
but those streets should've stayed,
the brick and stone what made the homes
we'er generations were raised.
