Poetry for Marshals

I once knew a codger named Clive,
Who liked to take his MG for a drive.
He said I like the air,
To blow through my hair,
At least the bits that survive.

Once he thought he'd be a star,
Playing electric guitar,
He had no backing,
For talent was lacking,
So he ended up as a marshal. Ah!

At a college he'd lecture,
and his student's he hector,
For those who hate working,
You will often find lurking,
Lazing in the public sector.

They say when you have the time,
You might start writing a rhyme,
Well if that is true,
Clive this is for you.
Don't let your blood pressure climb.

Bob’s a photographer, who takes lots of pics,
If you’re caught unawares, you’re well in a fix.
He puts them online for everyone to see,
He even gives them away, always for free.
He’s really a nice guy, or so we’ve been told
Usually by himself, as he’s ever so bold.
But if it is true, and I’ve no reason to doubt,
Then all I can say is “Bob, we’ll give you a shout!
Hip Hip Hooray for the old man of Luton,
Who once said he was a fan of Jenson Button."
But we know the truth, at least a little bit,
The reality is, he’s full of that four letter word found at the bottom of a bird cage!!

"The reality is, he’s full of that four letter word found at the bottom of a bird cage!!"

When I read that I said "Man alive!"
Newspaper has more than four letters, Clive.
Or did you mean straw that has only five?

Then I realised, it's all Ok.
Clive's not silly. Oh! No way.
Silly me of course he meant tray!

I was really quite shocked when first I saw it.
But he wouldn't be rude, not even a bit.
I now see that he surely meant GRIT!

...and someone to read it to him

It would seem Robin D, and that fellow The Pits, consider themselves a right pair of wits.
They should be careful either single or double, for with their posts they could be heading for trouble.
One suggests I need help with penning a verse, or that I can't read? Well that's even worse!
I recommend that they not be so leary or smart, just in case I take umbrage, and a new verse I start.
So heed my advice chaps and just play it cool, before I get cross and become ....... well. Cruel?

Well done to them both for joining in the fun

Love it! Cheers Bob.
