Nina Numpty Sat on A Wall
Nina Numpty sat on a wall
worrying, fretting, trying not to bawl
all the assignments, projects and portfolio strain
couldn’t put Nina Numpty’s head straight again
So on Tuesday she hit the brick wall
and she fell with an almighty crack
she felt like her ideas were wack
couldn’t see where she was or find her way back
So she stumbled up to Marc’s tower
to ask why she felt sour
he gave her a tissue
and said chill out, this ain’t jujitsu
He scribbled on a side of A4
and on it was dots galore!
don’t worry, your portfolio can wait
go laugh, scribble or create
You’ve been staring at Photoshop too long
maybe a shower? You’re starting to pong
or perhaps a Tinder date?
could help you get out of this state
Either way, get outta here and set your head straight
so she skiddalded off to the Tate
peered at Emin’s bed
and a mattress made of white bread
So she’s had a go at penning a rhyming chorus
with the help of a rhyming thesaurus
to say thanks for easing her out of her pain
so that, in the end, Nina Numpty was put together again.
