In 32 years of teaching I never taught a girl named Martha.
MARTHA!....................... SLOWLY I TURNED............. STEP BY STEP....................
When I was growing up, a colleague of my parents had a daughter named Martha who was my age. I also have a good friend named Marta.
Martha, my dear
Though I spend my days in conversation
Please, remember me
Martha, my love
Don’t forget me
Martha, my dear
[Bridge 1]
Hold your head up, you silly girl
Look what you’ve done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl
Paul McCartney’s Beatles song about his English sheep dog named Martha.
Also Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne’s mother we’re both Martha.
We have lots of Marthas in my family. I’m trying to keep it going.
