'An Ode to Events'

Are you planning something special

A wedding, event or party

Then hire me to come along

I'll make it fun and arty

My trusty easel in my hand

With marker pens and paper

And I'll draw your guests right on the spot

What an entertaining caper

They'll love my funny caricatures

Which they can keep forever

They'll say that was a great idea

And think you're awfy clever

I've over 10 years at this game 

I've sketched in far off places

From tiny tots to pensioners

All kinds of funny faces

Big chins, flapping ears and wonky teeth

Inspire me to have a ball

I love the facial imperfections 

That are unique and define us all

Those who may worry about their weight

Have nothing to fear from me

When it comes to shapes and sizes

I like targets that are 'easy to see'

My lines are bold and crisp and clean

Drawn with confidence, style and flair

Don't worry about your saggy boobs

I'll give you a cracking pair

Each sketch takes mere minutes to do

I'll draw and make it snappy

I'll exaggerate those features for big laughs

And send your guests home happy

Now let me make this clear to you

In case you have a niggle

I'm not here to offend your guests

Just have fun and make them giggle

My work will light up your event

It will not be forgotten

It's just as well my drawings are good

Cause I'm afraid my patter's rotten

So if you need a caricaturist

Then you know just what to do

Drop me a line and get in touch

'cos I'd love to draw for you!
