Last night we saw a programme, we had never seen before

It is called the Joy of Painting, first broadcast circa 1984

 

It took us just a few minutes, to realise it wasn't a joke

A blank canvas, some paint and a gentle speaking bloke

 

He introduced us how to create a painting from the very start

His enthusiastic manner, guiding us through his work of art

 

Such a simple format just a bloke, his easel and his paint

It was so relaxing, our new guilty pleasure, quite quaint

 

If someone had said to us you should give this watch a try

We would have said, we would rather stick pins in our eye

 

If you feel the need to escape this crazy new normal world

Try the Joy of Painting, a new experience will be unfurled

 

If there is a time when you feel your stress levels increase

Switch on the TV, watch the creation of today's masterpiece
