There is a man
He is quite cheery
Every morning
When my eyes are bleary
He comes up the path
Whistling a tune
Be it Dark November
July or June
In his hand are bottles
White and creamy
He delivers the milk
While I’m still dreamy
Juice and eggs
He does too
Loaves of bread
Things to chew
He drives with stealth
And boundless care
Laden with bottles
That tinkle and flare (in the sunlight)
Tinkle tinkle
Tinkle tinkle
Tinkle tinkle
Tinkle tinkle
Milko is here!
Hark and waken!
Semi-skimmed, homogenised
Fresh things and bacon
Full cream, half cream
Soya milk too
I bet if you asked him
He’d sell you some glue
Whistling his tune
His bottles a-clinking
With milk on my cereal
I can do some thinking
I love our milkman
Though not in “that” sense
But he brightens my morning
As he walks past the fence
