Charles Rennie Mackintosh
letâs have another cuppa tea
before you wander off
into the cold old Glasgow streets where
the rain donât never stop
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
as the teapot steeps, I admire every line
and all the high back chairs go âsqueakâ
and the old tea kettles whine
I find myself at home my friend
in a land that isnât mine
and oh youâre a wise old man I know
'cause when you built that Glasgow School of Art
you built it out of stone
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
you know Iâd love to stay all week
and drink all these teapots dry
but the tea ainât cheap
in this room that you designed
I wonder what theyâre asking for
a little shepherdâs pie
Charles Rennie Mackintosh
now the world has turned
and your old town has changed a lot
and if you walked Buchanan Street,
Iâm sure youâd find it odd
Mrs. Cranston sold the building
and they changed the whole facade
