That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 28, 2021

Oscar Brockly made a red hot vase,

but only one with a voluptuous lass.

His cheap clay pots,

profit him not,

while pornocorpia dies by his ass.

A master’s in pottery proved not such a boon,

so Percival Walters bailed out of it soon.

He paid his loan off,

now out-earns his prof,

plucking cigar butts out of spittoons.

Get into the pot trade, they said.

You’ll get rich quick, they said.

Mr. Potter lived with his hand stuck in his own creation for the rest of his life.

Week in and week out, Anders would work on making the perfect chamber pot, but he just couldn’t get it right.

If he makes the vase by sticking his hand inside, I’m amazed that he could make the one in front.

Trust me, Son! This “Fleshlight” line may look only like a little discreet side business for now but you’ll thank me when they’ll pay for your early Caribbean retirement .

He must have a lame left hand. There’s no way he could get his right hand in that pot.

You put your left fist in … you put your left fist out …

the artist, trying to fish his car keys out of his beer mug…

“Terracotta Smerracotta….I’m going to make my clay pots the way I always have!”

Some of you may remember this song reference…

“With just a hundred pounds of clay

He made my life worth living."

How am I supposed to find my contact in this mess when I can’t see properly??

I know there’s a cookie in here somewhere.

He put his pot in a safe place when he was high, now he can’t find it.

Though he was the last man standin’/ even he was forced to abandon/ the potter’s profession/ due to sudden recession/ but he’s nonetheless kept his hand in !

Okay, I can lace up the first one, but what about the second one?

He came to the field rather late/ and he’s lost a great deal of weight/ but tale a close look/ he can’t be mistook/ yes ! It’s Holbein’s Henry the Eighth !

Heck, I put it in easily enough…but now it is stuck!

Henry’s search for the perfect bong shape was hampered by his heavy use of product before beginning work.

After his bean and sauerkraut dinner, he’s also a hairy pooter.

Lars’ efforts to turn Playdoh into works of art were doomed to fail as his kids would ultimately transform his results into squashed messes that somewhat resembled the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

The first ceramic boxing gloves.

Hairy? At first but the clay he was using was very sticky…

This painter is not very familiar with pottery – there’s no way that that stubby little disk perched on the edge of the table is a pottery wheel.

One of the shop fairies got stuck to the black jug.

Harry was a talented potter – he even made his house out of clay.

I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. First work by this artist used here.

having lost his hand in a shark attack, nelson is making another one out of clay, fireing it will be difficult.

They say that he’s going to pot/ and though he insists he is not/ this picture is proof/ (or evidence enoof) / that his claim is the utterest rot …

“Dad said if I went into the family business I’d get all the pot I wanted. I’m such an idiot.”

Though his visage be bristled and stern/ he has energy to burn ! / He cranks out the clay/ all night and all day:/ he just loves to churn out an urn..

It was nice to have a That is Priceless on a Sunday, then againthere wasn’t one on Friday. – - – Steve needs a new calendar!

When the pottery clay was resisting / being shaped despite turning and misting, / he would insert his fist / in the hole to his wrist. / It’s a practice he’d mastered called “wristing.”

(I see now that I should have checked the site much earlier today. Hope I have time for a few more responses before Monday’s Masterpiece arrives.)

She had modeled for multiple arts. / Many artists depicted her parts. / Painted nudes had won prizes. / Sculptures in many sizes / helped her capture her fair share of hearts. /// Now, this potter’s vase model’s amazed / that some said that her image looked “crazed.” / So she rushed there to check / her form on the vase neck. / They were right! There are cracks where it’s glazed.

Skilled at “throwing” a pot on a wheel, / he could reshape the clay just by feel. / So it wasn’t a struggle / to insert jewels to smuggle / inside pots much too ugly to steal.

He had sat here so often before, / knowing well what his dreams had in store. / As he fingered the clay / he would silently pray / in his lap would appear Demi Moore.
