Robot
As soon as I saw these at the Folk Art Show,
I knew I had to have one!
My Daddy would have LOVED these,
and as I picked each one of them up,
I wondered how I would ever choose
Just the RIGHT one.
I talked to their creator,
a high school special ed teacher
who taught himself to make Art from Found Objects to
*stay sane*
and told him
I hoped he realized what a difference he was making,
just by showing up at work everyday.
We talked a little bit about the boybird
and he was full of questions about the
daughter bird going to college...
I told him I was trying to decide which of the
ROBOTS to take home
and he said
*OH, well they all have names on the backs...*
The very next one I picked up
had My Daddy's nickname!
Now he's up there on my bookshelves,
right next to the Invention.
I think he's RATHER handsome,
don't you?
