Poetry for Marshals
A sprightly young marshal called Keith,
Told the Chief he needed relief, Said the chief with a hiss; "Are you taking the........... Son you'll just have grit all your teeth. |

A grey haired old marshal named Clive
Threw a party where the music was live, It attracted a crowd, For the music was LOUD, Wish I'd left before I arrived! |

When the time comes to take a break on a post,
Of the attributes some marshal's may boast. Now dear Snozwangler, Was proud of his dangler, As he reckoned it was bigger than most. |

There once was a marshal called Blunt.
Who'd attended far more than one shunt. While out with his bottle. sorting those on full throttle. He tripped over and felt like he should really have considered doing a risk assessment before carrying out such tasks.... |

Now BBG was only a rookie, and from his post he often played hookey
He'd come back all spent, and when asked where he went, Replied I just nipped back for some nookie. I find making up poems quite easy, in fact I would say easy peasy. Some might sound risky and some make you frisky, And some are just plain downright sleazy. |

An Incident Explained My mother was a marshal as good as any man, She had arms like tree trunks and a deep brown leather tan. One time she was on duty at the Brit GP, While Dad and I stayed back at home and watched it on TV. Mothers post was down at Stowe, the bottom of the straight, When the leader came in sight and left it late to brake. At that point the blighter’s race really did unravel, Midst clouds of smoke the silly bloke went deep in to the gravel. There at home we plainly saw Mum was quickly on the scene, What happened next was there to see upon the TV screen. She told the driver please get out we’re in an awful rush, He wouldn’t move and shouted out; “Come on give me a push” Well as you can tell as well as I that wasn’t going to work. So Mum reached in and pulled him out with just one savage jerk. Of course he wasn’t very pleased, and at our Mum he swore, Well she looked mad, and my dad said” I’ve seen that look before.” The driver rather foolishly tried to climb back in his car, But with Mother’s hand around his neck he didn’t get too far. Well the word he used to remonstrate were just not fit to hear. I know if had said such things I’d have copped one round the ear. Our Mum wouldn’t stand for that and gave the chap a clout, And even with his helmet on she knocked the bugger out. The Post Chief looked up at her and said you’ve really done it petal, We’re on TV for all to see, you decked Sebastian Vettel! |

I thought this might spur a few of the more erudite amongst you to demonstrate their ability as poets, however, it seems that talent is sadly lacking.
Therefore I will finish with just one more verse, and leave it there. If (With apologies to Rudyard Kipling) If you can rise at Sparrows Fart, and drive forty miles or more Spend eight hours on the bank when the weather’s cold and raw If you can stand up to your knees in mud and never once complain, Yet tell yourself that this is fun despite the freezing rain. If your lunch is thermos tea, pork pies and sausage dogs, And your post is one of those that’s furthest from the bogs. If you can do all this and more then come back next week again. Then you’ll be marshal my son – and probably insane. |
