The Art Show

The Art Show At the art exhibition, it was about metal craftily shaped to resemble tulips and roses polished to mirror sharpness, and there were trees made of barbered wire and a painting made out of coat hangers, the type the give at the laundry and filling up your closet. There were many buyers, what do you do with a steel vase with ditto steel roses, not in the living room or the dining table, perhaps in the study on a sideboard and forgotten. Do metal roses rust, can they be rinsed under the sink and dry in the sunlight. It was spring outside a beautiful lawn and many a variety of flowers and trees but that is not art.
