Oh help me, please. I beg you and,
when on my knees to pray,
I need a little helping hand
to guide me through the day.
I have to face a motley band
who try to model clay.
I give them all my careful gen,
to help them understand.
The work is very simple when
they’re organised and planned.
And yet their fumbling specimen
look strictly second hand.
I demonstrate the handy way
of ‘pipes’ and ‘slips’ and scrim.’
To no avail, I have to say,
their efforts still look grim.
So give me patience, please, this day;
they’re all so very dim.
