John Cooper Clark is performing in Swansea at the Gower Heritage Centre in June.
ARTS N'CRAFTS
Out of bed into the Shed
To paint the wooden roses red
To ride a rocking quadruped
With a big idea in your head
Form and function in a line
The rudiments of good design
From the oaken leg to the fine wine
To table tops of melamine
There's nothing that you couldn't make
No effect you couldn't fake
A pebble sprayed with metal flake
Would make a precious paperweight
Teddy bears to stuff with stuff
Like nylon mink from a lady's muff
Cotton balls and a powder puff
Pom poms and pocket fluff
Stainless steel and a rock hard aura
The marble glance of a lost explorer
A heavy heart for the love of Nora
Chains of flowers on a draped amphora
Time time time to slay
Each crowded hour of every day
Where indolence is kept at bay
In an arty-crafy kinda way
