In Malton, we met the candidate -
He leaned on his stick - examined us with his veteran's bright knowing eye -
Earlier, we'd seen his comrades -
One of them wore faux farmer's tweed -
Stallholders were shouting in the market -
There was a yellow rickshaw outside a shop selling bric a brac -
Brave leaflets were handed out to passersby -
From the train we'd seen the small villages and flooded fields -
There's a majority of twenty thousand here to overturn the candidate said -
