Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Still with an iron handA
Rules house and home Like a peevish gnomeB
He barks each curt commandA
And he packs the family off to bedA
Since a wireless 'fan' he's grownC
And each obeys while Papa staysD
And harks to the Test aloneC
-
Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Sat last Saturday nightA
Glowing with pride as Australia's sideA
Rose to the loftiest heightA
Then just as the fun grew furiousE
And the batsmen forged aheadA
Came a horrible shriek a click and a squeakF
And the speaker went stone deadA
-
Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Fiddled with urgent thumbG
At many a screw in a terrible stewA
But ever the set stayed dumbG
So up the stairs in his stocking feetA
He stole to his small son thereH
Whose expert hand now took commandA
And the Test was again on the airH
-
Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Frowned at his small meek heirH
'You'll wait ' said he 'lest the thing won't geeI
Quiet sir Sit over there '-
And his small son hugging himself in gleeI
As the game went merrily onJ
Sat listening in with a rapturous grinK
To the triumphs of 'Billy' and 'Don '-
-
Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Seized with a strange wild joyL
As the centuries came with his eye aflameM
Clutched at the startled boyL
And Mrs Fitzmickle roused from sleepN
Saw a sight to wonder atA
Fitzmickle and son at half past oneO
Dancing a jig on the matA
-
Mr Fitzmickle the martinetA
Said with a sheepish grinK
'Why Mother's here Sit down my dearP
Sit down and listen in '-
And the small son whispered when all was o'erQ
And the winter dawn beganR
In his mother's ear 'Ma ain't it queerP
Pappas's just like a man '-
