Rhino à la mode

Salvador Dalí, Rinoceronte vestido con puntillas / Rhinoceros dressed in lace (1956)


Why did he make a farce of art?

He didn't give a monkey's fart,

Knowing that life runs to an end,

That you ought best yourself defend.

Now he's in fashion more and more,

No matter what there is in store.

He's almost a post-impressionist

Compared with others who persist.

Draped in quantum theory lace

That bullfight daggers pin in place

His bronze rhinoceros pleads grace

For artists who should go for broke:

There's nothing cooler than a joke,

Unless it's perhaps a mirror's smoke.

Real soon, I think, the game will finish.

There's not much left here to diminish.
