The picture on the parlor wall
The picture on the parlor wall
Framed, not too big, and not too small
Charcoal stems, red poppies— that’s all
Some flowers— short, but others, tall
Mom found it in a poster rack
Loved it the most of the whole stack
It’d beautify the simplest shack
(Yet then my mom would want it back)
If you know who the artist is
We would like to support their biz
To hear that someone says it’s his
If we’re asked if it’s lovely?— ‘tis!
