Joan Miro’s Lunar Bird
Bully for You!
Mrs. Shufflebottom loved museums
Though she was often confused by
Modern artists.
She rather liked the information panels
and prefered them on the walls at the height
of her eyes.
Nonetheless she would make the effort
however read the description of what the
artist rendered.
The Lunar Bird had a silent giggle as
Mrs. Shufflebottom, well shuffled with
her bifocals.
Ever alert the museum guard sensed
an opportunity - one he could not resist -
snapped away.

Max Ernst “Capricorn”
What’s Your Sign?
Mikey T. Kidd didn’t know too much about anything yet,
being twelve that was just fine and dandy - school trips
were fun.
He clearly remembered the day he had decided on his career.
He really did liked the odd sculpture by Max Ernst that was
called “Capricorn”
But he knew right then and there that he was going to study
hard and become a dentist - a fun dentist for children only -
Yes indeed!
The sort of mermaids head and the odd stuff on the bulls lap
and the giant toothbrush in the bull’s hand looked like tools on
the postcard...
That postcard was the first thing Dr. Kidd framed and put up
in his office - And everyday it reminded to make the day fun
for everyone.

Guard
Life Imitates Art
Maurice Bitterman liked working outdoors
but not too fond of getting his hands dirty or
pulling cotton.
Getting dressed in a uniform was good even
if it meant long sleeves, trousers and wearing
a tie.
Folks from all over came to visit the large
outdoor sculptures - Most days he heard
foreign tongues.
T’weren’t really no mind though as with pointing
to maps and lots of smiling he could head ‘em
just right.
Being on the same job for nearly thirty odd years
they didn’t mind when it weren’t busy and he’s set
a spell.
