Framed

FRAMED

In submitting my last résumé
Jessica Rabbit inspires me to say
Though some call me a cad 
I’m not really that bad
It’s just that I was drawn this way

There’s a catch in assigning creation
Of our being in all its summation
To another as source
Who gave them the force?
Cue: an infinite reiteration

Still if I were the artist divine
And it were in my power to assign
All the features impose
Including the nose
I’d draw one much better than mine


Inspired by the film:
- Who framed Roger Rabbit

Thanks Alexis. I share your appreciation of the mixing of ‘real’ people with ‘toons. It raises some interesting questions on our nature and origins.
