Bottom of the Ottoman

Bottom of the Ottoman from David Williams on Vimeo.

It's either at the bottom of the Ottoman
or in the cwtsh dan star*
that item that you cherished
the one that would take you far,
just like all the others, 
now discarded and thrown away
You said the lying hound you are 
"I'll use it one day" 
your appetite for shit and tat matches 
that for chip fryers and bread makers
the Pifco foot spa or the Goblin teasmade
the exercise equipment or obscure kitchenware
the weird shoes and linen suits
your subscription to 'that' magazine
musical instruments and cook books  
This house is like an episode of the 'Generation Game'
"Dinner Service, Fondue Set
Cuddly Toy, Cuddly Toy"
It's either at the bottom of the Ottoman
or in the cwtsh dan star*
cwtsh dan star: cupboard under the stairs
