Caerphilly is a small town Famous for its cheese Has a castle looks like its falling  down With a Moat around with geese Outside now stands a large Statue,  It needed to be big he would boast. Thats what the nature of this man Big, but stupid loved by most Its a statue of Tommy Cooper Comedian a magician that fails Wore a Fez as his trademark Born here in Wales The sculptors name is James Done A great friend of mine Has a wicked sense of humour Smiling  all the time Jim isnt Welsh boohoo Though he's lived here a long time Regards himself as proxy Welsh Though his accent sounds like Tyne The day Tommy's statue was presented Was done by Sir Anthony Hopkins no less Who mentioned he would have loved  To have met Tommy in the flesh Now it stands there for all to see The larger than life comedian  Well done Jim your Bronze is f.c.
