Shelly Wilkerson My Jewels Poem

Shelly's "My Jewels" Poem:
Come to my room just down the hall, and see my precious jewels. Just sit quietly. Do not touch. I'm sure you know the rules! I've collected only finer things, from places that I've been, And when I die I'll leave it all, to all those "next of kin". I'm only living here for now. My summer home is rented. I'll drive there in my auto soon. (It's just a little dented). My daughter married well indeed; a Texas oil tycoon! I'll be moving in some day, and she'll be coming soon. That porcelain rose in that charming vase is really very brittle. My china plates, from Monkey Wards, are only chipped a little. My silver plated coffee pot is only slightly rusty. I should have fixed the handle, and it's just a little dusty. My pearls are from the Orient, 'Chinatown', I think. Touch the silky elegance of my genuine faux-fur mink! My cat is an aristocrat with known distinctive breeding. She tells me this each afternoon if I should miss her feeding! My rhinestones and my sparkles are diamonds in the rough. I'd purchase more at the 5 & dime, but I really have enough. It's strange to be a higher class than those folks down the hall. Some day I'll give a big soiree, and I'll invite them all.

I'm sure I know this lady. Of course we all think that whenever we look at another Shelly Wilkerson painting! The truth is, I feel better when I think I know the character than when it reminds me of my relatives - which is often he case!
Regardless, they always make us smile, and while we use art sometimes to make a room brighter, or to drive home a theme, what better purpose for at is there, than making us smile?!
