INSPIRATION

On the shopping chanel
They sold a watch 
Not the chanel
I wanted to watch

Inspiration I need
Not a watch
Come on please
Help me plot

Seen a sketch show 
The other night
Would you know 
Not a drawing in sight 

Fact of the mattter
Was total uncanny 
A bunch of actors
Revealing their insanity 

I shook my head
Questioning my entire 
Turned to Bob Ross instead
Didn't help me inspire 

Asked a friends help
To Paint my living room
Detail the shelves
Make it all bloom

They turned up confused
With eyes like starlets
As I started to use
My easel and palette 

Maybe I had the answer
Hopefully not too late
To copy Frida Kahlo 
I tried a self portrait 

I set up my Canvas
And got a bit confused
After a few hours past
I got a bit amused

With all to two and fro
Heads start to spinner
I really let it go
And painted the mirror

Maybe Art ain't my passion 
As I can't find Inspiration 
I could try Fashion
But sharp pins and perspiration 

Not to mention scissors slips
May be a big disaster
Fingers and meat that fits
Like that dress by Lady Ga Ga
