115 - Art

Do I have to be the smartest

To be a famous artist?

Or as an ordinary chap

Can I throw out any old crap?

Could I make the Mona Lisa

Tilt the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

Would I cause a massive fright

With my Starry Night?

Will my painting of The Scream

Label me as extreme?

Or would my Haywain

Be called somewhat mundane?

If you really want me to try

I won’t ask you why

Just don’t file a complaint

When you realise I can’t paint
