Tombstone Northumberland

In Tombstone Northumberland

where drinkers go to eat

a lonely covid marshal

patrols the crowded street




You seven will get busted

you're against the law

and you don't come from round here

not seen you before




the pubs will start kicking out

as curfew starts to bite

stop serving beer at eight o'clock

to say they're covid right




they've arrest all the young folk

once were high on drugs

now they're coming for granny

that gives children hugs




there are no traffic wardens

no parked cars on the street

and  sniggering groups of five

will be excluded from his beat
