David Darbyshire (6/11/54 / Darwen England)
Poka-Dot Pagent
Pretty plants in Pots
beautiful for-get-me-knots
Girls in red dresses
all with white poka-dots
Little white shoes
Bows in their hair
bright blue eye's
In for a surprise
It is the Utah state fair
there is nothing that can compare
now comes the Poka-Dot beauty pagent
they all look heaven sent
Only one Girl can win
said judge, ' Edwin'
so line up, and lets take a look
Old Edwin his time he took
Old Edwin was not very shy
and one girl did catch his eye
Twas the girl in the green dress and white poka-dot
The girl began to cry, cause old Edwin the trophy,
he forgot
