Two pence halfpenny (Tuppenceha'penny)

Two pence halfpenny
where are you now?
I was called that once!

Somewhere I do not
want to be - in a land
filled with bigots!

Two pence halfpenny
what will you do?
my uncle surely asked then.

Somewhere else
where my dreams
do not turn to delusions!

Two pence halfpenny
what is your future
dear little girl?

My "old'ness" years
I hope to live
in a village of my choice!
