Hanging around is fun at the gallery

Art is featured from abstract to flowery

Portraits, still lifes and paintings of barns

Sculptures and landscapes if you give a darn

On days and nights when no one comes in

Antics and follies commence and begin

From the barns the cows and roosters emerge

Painted waves crash that seemed just on the verge

Staid Puritan portraits follow us with their eyes

Tempest tossed sailboats get to capsize

Bronze ballerinas dance down from their pillars

To form a quadrille with oiled tinkers and millers

But when the doorbell tinkles we rush back to our places

To polish and preen to show our best faces

Someone might purchase and hang us in their home

A fresh venue for us to frolic and roam

A grand new space to explore and creep

When the new master is unaware or asleep
