Lock It Up!

Lock it up!

There is no one more powerful than thee,

For regardless how you exit or explain

Unless you put lights out and lock up with a key,

Art work, yours or others’ shared, may not remain.

Wicked Phantoms, Cats, or Lion Kings

May leave you Something Rotten in your dreams;

J. Whitcomb Riley will rhyme other horrid things

Unless you lock, front and back, “along the seams.”

It’s our shared treasure after all,

This wonder, our galleried WVArtsA Hall.
