John's Marrow

Today's Lockdown 2 Cartoon. John, the marrow and 'Patience' are all real! (So is the jam).

 

Good day to you, my name is John

I’ve grown a giant marrow

I’ve brought it back, from my allotment

In a wheelbarrow

 

I think I’ll make it into jam

I’ll add some ginger (fresh)

It’s far too big to eat at once

There’s really too much flesh

 

I have a large allotment

Grow fruit and veg to eat

If the weather’s good I walk each way

(It keeps my waistline neat)

 

But if it’s wet, I take the car

(Called ‘Patience’, she’s a Moggie)

A Morris Minor, coloured green

But I don’t go if it’s foggy

 

I must get on, there’s jam to make

I’ve left it now to stew

And if you like, when it has cooled

I’ll send a jar to you.
