Vivienne Westwood

Nineteen forty one she opened her eyes
spring in the air over Derbyshire skies.
Seventeen years later the family moved south
Tintwistle, seemingly they could do without.

Harrow, London their next abode
were Viv begins her artistic mode.
A silversmithing and fashion course
one term, then quitting this source.

A primary school teacher she became
dabbling in the designer jewellery game.
Selling at a stall in Portobello Road
her business acumen showed.

Married for just three years
ended when Macolm Mclaran appeared.
Council flat in Clapham they would abide
Vivian never becoming his bride.

Punk mad at at one time
in thought dress and design.
A boutique called let It Rock
they opened just to shock.

Viv always outshone her men
craftily consoling them.
Sunglasses, dress, bling, shoes
continuously in the news.

Probably the best in the world today
her creations on worldwide display.
Married again for the second time
she claims she's yet to reach her prime.
