It's not Art if you throw it away,
It's just a piece of trash not for display.
But every so often you lean back with a gasp!
To ooh and to aahh and to hope for some cash.
For you did it this time!
You awoke your inner artist.
Now you can claim you have mad skills,
Instead of the desire to do what you will.
You can erase the black off of your thumb,
Life is bright again, the tunnel looks brighter.
It's all rainbows and dew drops
And honey and cakes,
Sweet apple pastries and a nice warm embrace.
Until you undo it again.
The magic is gone.
This new art will never see the light of the sun.
Until someone sees it and they lean back with a gasp!
They dig in their wallet and offers some cash.
They say, you did it this time!
You have mad skills, would you, could you make another?
You look at your thumb,
The black is fading.
Decide with a nod
While the sun is no longer fading.
You paint with your all and right from the heart.
That's all we can ask for from our teens and our tweens
To enjoy and create and feel like kings and queens
Of the art world, of the Mulberry Library!
It's all in their will
To put art on a wall,
To never doubt that they doubted at all.
Come on over the Mulberry Library
July 22nd at 2 pm, be here with no fear
To make the art of the year!
Come on over the Mulberry Library
July 22nd at 2 pm, be here with no fear
