I read in a newspaper that hand-crocheted dolls

Of Vincent Van Gogh are now available

In the Tate Britain and elsewhere

They are thirty-five pounds each

He is shown wearing his French work jacket

And a rough grey hat

I wonder what Vincent would have made

Of this exclusive range of dolls

Perhaps he might have painted them

All lined up in a row

In front of the yellow café in Arles

 

 

It has been reported that Vincent dolls are for sale at the Tate Britain in connection with the Van Gogh and Britain exhibition that will run to August 2019

 I have written this poem to raise the funds so that I might purchase one
