MR WARRINGTONA Poem by Phil Roberts
Mr Warrington lived up the hill
He was very big and very round With a big round wobbling face Guiness loomed large in his legend
When he used to come home from the pub He'd say to us cheerily "Give us a push up th'ill kids!" So we'd gather round Pushing him and pulling him up the hill Like a tiny fleet of tugs Nudging a liner the into position "Yer good kids!" he'd say "Ere y'are!" And he dug into his pocket for small change He threw it on the ground and We scrabbled merrily With every penny a blessing By Phil Roberts © 2015 Phil Roberts |
