I am in a frame, a spot on a painting on a wall in a hall full of other pieces of art.
Someone should be looking for Van Gogh,he's been ******' around with the paint ***.
What am I going to do as a spot?

Picasso
apart from painting me blue
missed out the ring finger on my left hand and the people who pass me always peer at me closely and linger a bit longer as if they can't believe it but it's true.

David Bailey took a picture of me
put me in 'Time Magazine
captioned it,
'the four fingered lingering blue dream'
it's a nightmare I tell you.

I wish I'd been done by Turner,in the best possible taste,
but the silly ****** wasted all of his time painting ships of the line.

So I'm a spot or a dot and the audience love it,but
I think it's **** hanging here in a frame
I only came here on loan and
now they've made it my home.
I wish that I'd been painted with a voice.
