I operate a gallery,
each piece one of a kind.
Both artists worked exclusively
in crayon, framed and signed.

One series I could recommend -
"Space shuttle, flag and tree,"
has subtle variations in
each work as you can see.

Sometimes the flag waves to the left
and sometimes to the right,
but the apples in the green tree
are always ruby bright.

That larger piece you're gazing at,
"Black cat with yellow sun,"
was entered in a contest once.
That ribbon shows it won.

I see you've noticed how the art
has plentiful supply
of flowers sprouting from the grass
and rainbows in the sky.

And yes, those multicolored hearts
express a vision bold,
but as I've told you several times,
they simply can't be sold.

Your offer, while most flattering,
is made to no avail -
these drawings by my progeny
were never meant for sale.
