Baby Got Bowls

Ode to the potter's life

I like big bowls and I cannot lie
You other potters can't deny
When the sides curve down like a wide-mouthed vase
And that round thing’s in your face?
You get sprung, son!
Want to pull the walls up tough
Smooth out edges that are rough
Walls so thin and daring
I'm hooked and I can't stop caring
Oh nesting bowl, I wanna fitcha
And take your pitcha
My studio tried to warn me
But that glaze you got (can be so runny!)
Ooh, lump-o'-smooth-porcelain,
With a delicate decorative rim?
Well, muse me, amuse me
Little too much slip and it’s soupy.
I've seen her dancin'
At the studio prancin'
Quick with this set,
Gotta get these orders met!
Baby got bowls
I'm tired of magazines
Sayin' manufactured bowls are the thing
Take the average potter and ask them that
Handmade is where it’s at!
So, potters (yeah) Potters (yeah)
Has your dinner set got the bowl? (hell yeah)
Tell 'em to shape it (shape it) shape it (shape it)
shape that healthy bowl
