Martin

here he comes
all photography classes
three button cardies

and National Health glasses

his coffee’s Fair Trade
he wears wool from Alpacas
has all sorts of firewalls
to keep out the hackers

he’s high tech and blue toothed
knows his way round the net
saves trees from the Amazon
but flies down by jet

an intelligent man
when it comes to the highways
drives a Smart car
that he likes to park sideways

now you're likely to find him
in the vintage shops
browsing the bracers
and Bakelite clocks

likes to charm ya
with his Weimaraner
cause all sorts of elation
with his spotty Dalmatian

in every room
a smoke detector
doesn’t watch telly
but loves his projector!

treks around Cambodia
Vietnam and Laos
U.S.A.A.F. souvenirs
carpet bombed round the house

all kitted out in lycra
he sure does look the burk
wears a yellow jersey
as he cycles in to work

truth be told i’m jealous
he seems to have the lot
head stuck fast in a Lonely Planet
while i’ve lost the plot
