Yurt
In a ‘yurt’ in Wensleydale must be a lot of fun.
To think that in Mongolia is where it has begun!
They built their ‘gers’ like igloos around a wooden frame
And covered them with hides so no two look the same.
Living on the Asian steppes can be pretty rough
So these simple structures must be very tough.
The hides give insulation from the heat and cold
And the Mongol tribesmen must be strong and bold!
It’s not the same in Wensleydale in a yurt today.
There is a bit of luxury for which you have to pay.
The Mongols had no plumbing or dreamed of a hot tub
Or, if they became thirsty, nipping to a pub!
While you enjoy your holiday ponder if you can
The guile and ingenuity of the Mongolian man.
