Dear Editor, I’m writing a rapping shout-out to you
For issues “one”, “four”, ”three”, and especially “two”.
We love the writing that spills from your collective mind,
You’re like a fountain of voices all hyped up on design.
Keep that funky news flowing – we don’t want it to stop.
Each night you throw it down on the DB desk with a “plop”
Copies get around town from here to Zona Tortona.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I saw one in Bologna.
Some people might wonder just how it can be
That it only took a week to conquer the world with WT
Well let me now turn to the readers ‘cos it would suit you all well
To pay a lil’ visit to Spazio Revel
That’s where you’ll find the world of designersblock
Within which is KithKin working round the clock.
They’re a real tight group and it’s no mystery
That they know how to fortify a community.
You’ve only got a day left to see behind the scenes
As Tamsin, James and Ed fulfill their journalistic dreams.
They’ve got laptops and printers and reams of paper in the corner,
And it’s a real fresh place to converse with David and Lorna.
Ian is over here and Emily’s over there,
And Claire is somewhere with her superbly cut hair.
The crew brought picture frames and plants to fill the office
And an erotic ceramic paperweight that you just don’t wanna miss
When it’s time to clean up and pack it all away
I’ll miss the three clocks with three different times of day
London Tokyo and Milan.
They tic-tic-tic till the break of dawn.
Grazie mille per il suo giornale della 2009 Salone
Per notizie del disegno, Working Title e la nostra “one and only”
Signed,
A local (and loyal) reader.
