Cocker was born into a family of Glasgow merchants.[1] In the First World War, he served with the Highland Light Infantry, and was taken prisoner in 1917.

After the war Cocker entered the account department of the Daily Record, and was the paper's drama citic until retirement in 1956.[1] He is best known for his humorous poems in Scots, often on Biblical themes, such as "The Deluge", on the story of Noah and the Flood. Books of his poems include "Poems: Scots and English", "Further Poems", "New Poems" and "Randon Rhymes and Ballads".[2] References1. ^1 Maurice Lindsay and Lesley Duncan, The Edinburgh book of twentieth-century Scottish poetry, p.378 {{DEFAULTSORT:Cocker, W.
