ABSTRACT

A line of people stop and stare,

At the abstract piece on the wall.

"Wow!" "Blimey," some people comment,

"That picture is remarkable."



Charlie approaches the artwork.

A woman says, "It's a beauty!"

Charlie squints and scratches his head,

"Well, what is it supposed to be?"



The woman rolls her eyes and sighs,

"That's up to whoever sees it;

What does the piece express to you?"

Charlie answers, "It says, 'half-wit'."
