Sculpture theft in Dulwich

A short verse lamenting the theft of one of Dame Barbara Hepworth’s masterpieces from Dulwich Park. The police think the thieves will melt down Two Forms.

The ghost of Barbara Hepworth

Looked towards London’s bare earth

And wailed “Right at this juncture

Some bastard’s nicked my sculpture”
