NEWMAN

entry picture

never-ever seen one

of these newmen

are they like newts only longer

or do they lack semen

anyway I've never seen 'em

 

newmen: what do they do

take their kids to see the oldmen at the zoo,

go to work when they don't want to

spend all their time and all their money with their children

I do

 

is a newman always young

never tired, knackered, crotchety

is a newman always polite and patient

and always wants to listen

and never says "'cos I say so!"

if so, i aint new

at all

 

I don't care

I've got enough to do:

cooking, cleaning

always trying to be well

as well as working

and trying to sleep

that's enough for me

never mind this staying new

man

second hand's for me.

'Aint worth old habits trying to cure
Getting tired and knackered and crotchety
Simply shows you're beginning to mature ?
