this morn‘ of the 27th oct
the poet woke from a dream:
a group of people
all dressed in dark garb
appeared at the artist’s
exhibition
of paintings and poetry
lauding his art
amidst the group of art lovers
one person came forward
the poet’s friend/mr t/ well now
he said
which of the paintings and poetry
is the favourite of yours?
the group’s discussion followed
a decision: ‘erato/apollo frieze’
“ah/we buy it then/mr t said and
referred the matter to his sponsor
the artist hesitated: “erato is part
of the fourteen part apollo frieze.”
“i know,” mr t replied
“the sponsor agreed to buy the
frieze!”
“wow” the artist gasped – “i wish
to keep the right of exhibiting it.”
“ok”/mr t said “we’ll discuss the
details later/now let’s see what
my friends will buy from all the
other pic’s.”
just as the artist opened his black
order book
music sounded and mr t had
arranged
that mauro sang ‘i did it my way’…
mr t’s favourite sinatra song.
