    Default I wanna be yours - John Cooper Clarke

    Seen as valentine's day is just two days away and I love John Cooper Clarke, I figured this was a very fitting poem,

    I Wanna Be Yours

    I wanna be your vacuum cleaner
    breathing in your dust
    I wanna be your Ford Cortina
    I will never rust
    If you like your coffee hot
    let me be your coffee pot
    You call the shots
    I wanna be yours

    I wanna be your raincoat
    for those frequent rainy days
    I wanna be your dreamboat
    when you want to sail away
    Let me be your teddy bear
    take me with you anywhere
    I don’t care
    I wanna be yours

    I wanna be your electric meter
    I will not run out
    I wanna be the electric heater
    you’ll get cold without
    I wanna be your setting lotion
    hold your hair with deep devotion
    Deep as the deep Atlantic ocean
    that’s how deep is my emotion
    Deep deep deep deep de deep deep
    I don't wanna be hers
    I wanna be yours


    That's the poem in the book I got at this poem reading I went to for English GCSE but anyway the version on his website (below) is a bit different but I like this one better.

    He's a punk poet, apparently.
