The Cobbler
There is a little cobbler with a shop in Bletchley Town
And he’ll never, ever let his clients down.
His shop is pretty dingy with not a lot of space
But it is a pleasure to see his wizened face.
No matter what he’s doing he’ll see to you mid task.
And if you’ve got a question you only have to ask.
He looks at what you’ve brought to him with a discerning eye
And he’ll make his pronouncement on it by and by.
He’ll tell you if it’s possible and if so name a price.
He’ll also say how long it takes, which is very nice!
Generally, he’ll fix it while you walk round the shops
And if it’s really urgent he’ll pull out all the stops.
He also does engraving on trophies that you’ve won
And he’ll fix your watches when they cease to run.
There is still another thing that I have to tell
If you need a key cut, he’ll do that as well!
He keeps a stock of batteries of the button kind
And finds a way to fit them, which sometimes blows the mind!
He has never let me down for anything I’ve asked
And he does a lovely job with the things he’s tasked.
Reminds me of a craftsman in bygone days of yore,
A carpenter in Nazareth who accomplished so much more!
