ART APPRECIATES Mar. 11/85 Karl Rigelhof

Writing ideas around rhymes
Drawing circles within lines
Shaping statues from stone
Scraping sculptures from bone
Taking life out of flesh

Painting portraits of processed people
Fading photos that are picture perfect
Making movies upon the silver screen
Viewing videos on the TV tube
Lasting images remain fresh

Oppressing operas and boring ballets
Screeching sounds of the symphony
Ranting raving rock and roll
Digging graves with gospel and soul
Taking time as its test

CHORUS:
Art appreciates
It gets better as it grows old
Money depreciates
It's not worth its weight in gold
Even if you don't like it
Since no one else will
At least art appreciates
