those crazy artists

                THOSE CRAZY ARTISTS

 

 

Artists are a crazy bunch

Who never know their boundaries

They do not file their canceled checks

Or take their wash to loundaries.

 

Arrogant yet insecure

And prone to getting tipsy,

They prefer a New York loft

To mansions in Poughkepsie. 

 

Sculpting shapes a child would think

Are very amateurish,

They display them in our parks

With medieval flourish.

 

Junk and trash and human waste

Are used in their weird toil.

You never know if what you view

Is plastered with night soil.

 

But crazier are people who

Support this folderol

And hand this stuff up to be seen

Upon museum wall.

 

Criteria for entrance to

These temples of refinement

Suggests the choosers ought to be

In padded cell confinement.

 

Craziest of all, I fear,

Are knuckleheads who pay

A fortune for some piece of junk

That might be an ashtray.

 

The bidding wars for sorry art

Push prices towards the sky.

Millions for a splotch of paint . . .

While darkling children die.

 

Yes, darkling children will insist

On dying without art.

But as they die at least they know

They are the sanest part.
