A Child's Art

A Child’s Art

I don’t want to go to any museums
I don’t care about the Mona Lisa
Or any work by Pablo Picasso
The works of the masters just don’t cut it
So, don’t make me look at Van Gogh
Just let me watch a child with a crayon
Watch their imagination flow onto the page
They are the true masters of the art world
Pureness, unspoiled by the images of others
Encourage them
Tell them how beautiful their work is
Hang it proudly on your fridge door
Keep it all your life
Then you can embarrass them when they create
When then paint their own Mona Lisa
