Edward Clay Poet Rhyme

The Pitcher

THE PICTURE
                 Edwardf Clay
                 Jan 1991
	
      Someone stepped out of a picture one day,
       Having watched the world go by,
       To see what he could learn in the world,
       Of earth and wind and sky.

      He stepped right out and walked away,
       To experience life out of the frame,
       And as he walked, he didn’t expect
       A world so full of pain.

      The poor fellow did not understand,
       So he turned around and fled,
       Running right back into the picture frame
       And tears he would have shed.

      Now there he stands inside his frame,
       Never again to come down,
       Instead of the smile he was painted with,
       All the world sees is a frown.
