Now We’re Really Living

January 26th, 2009

I need some clarification, some closure and some clothes to cover this naked level of understanding that me, a common beatnik, cannot get my head round.

Last week when I took the boy to school I almost arrived at the bus stop but was greeted by a curious sight. Sat on the corner by the pub was a golf ball. A golf ball that had two turds curled around it. Now I have three questions:

1. Do dogs play golf?
2. Would that be classed as modern art?

And the biggest one of all:

3. Is it marketable?

    1. The fourteenth Earl of Derby claimed, in 1868, to have a whippet that could play golf, using a specially adapted four iron.

    2. Check the item for a signature to see if it was made by Anthony Gormley. If so, yes it is.

    3. No, but if you wait until the recession passes, you have yourself a sure-fire winner in days of solvency and easy credit.

    Did you shovel it up and keep it?

    I should hope so. With a little TLC it’ll be worth a fortune in a few years. Consider it an investment. In fact, I’d get it insured if I were you.

    I went back today and alas the monument of my hopes and dreams had disappeared. I assume the golfing hound had returned to claim his or her denoument (what?)

    Shame… Did you see that article on the bbc news last night that the Tate Modern were looking to procure dog golf art at 100 grand a pop.

    I saw that. And I cut it out of the newspaper where I saw it (having seen it there and not on the thing that Kev said) and I framed it and once it was on my wall I looked at it for hours and then I went to bed.

    Did you now? Methinks you do-eth tryeth to maketh me looketh a fool perchance. There are too many inconsistencies in your stories. For one, why is Kevin reading about modern art? Why is Marshall reading a newspaper? Why is that Marshall still hasn’t read the thing that I sent to him and chose to look at something on his wall instead?

    Oh yeah, I AM TAGGART!
