MARTIN NEWELL
Give him the moonlight
Give him the dawn
A stove pipe hat like Frankie Vaughan
He’s off to do somebody’s lawn
Who’s that then. Martin Newell
Rock a doodle doodle do
The man has got two jobs to do
They call him germinator two
Who. Martin Newell
It’s hard the graft
And scant ‘o play
Each twenty-four hour working day
For a nine-yard poem
And a pile of hay
Hey. Martin Newell
He makes me feel like an idle slob
For only having one job
He’s certainly got the gift of the gob
Sod. Martin Newell
Off with the duvet
Under the light
From bed to verse in the dead of night
Insomnia written all over his kite
Spritely. Martin Newell
Lady Chatterly was looking for a lover
For a little bit of this that and yes some of the other
Who had all three angles covered.
Martin Newell
Is your garden overgrown
A sad reflection on your home
A pestilential disaster zone
Phone. Martin Newell
He’ll gladly tangle with the weeds
And meet all your herbacious needs
And then he’s got a gig in leeds
Who’s that then. Martin Newell
With a shank and a shovel
The rythm of the rake
The garden of eden without the snake
Who did the business for fucks sake
Martin Newell
Fit like a fiddle
Drinks like a fish
You should be so tough you wish
He’s got muscles in his piss
Who’s this. Martin Newell
A shallow dish of slender gruel
And a pint of ale his only fuel
Goes by the name of Martin Newell
Who’s that then. Martin Newell
Every seven years it’s said
Martin Newell goes to bed
That’s enough poems. ed
