Gum

It had been a long day,
And the pictures were slightly confusing.
Who knew that the one titled 'Bay'
Was worth a half a million dollars?
Looking at it, he noticed nothing.
A bottom of greenish gray
With an intermingling top of absolute blue.
Merely creative wall paper.
He placed, carefully,
His gum,
Worn to a tasteless rubber on it.
And got caught.

But here is where the artist smiles,
Realizing her work is realized.
How could she be angry?
Besides,
The Bay was missing a chunk of
Cinnamon Red.
