Goin, Goin, ' Gone

McCoy Pottery I went to an auction and what did I see? A piece of McCoy pottery. A vase, bright yellow and tall And that's not all! There was a heron thereon! The color was divine and the lines were sublime "I must have it! I must! In God I trust! He, the money will supply, I don't know why Except He knows it's important to me To satisfy my 'eye, which has a love of beauty. To convey it is my duty; to delight my essence And to present it to God from the depths of my heart, A part of what I believe, of what I perceive, a part of Him. A piece of clay tells me all this, such an existential twist.
