Kitschy-Kitschy-Coo

   Mona Lisa’s crooked smile	
      on a half-crushed Campbell’s Soup can

   Joe Dimaggio reciting his pronouns uneasily 
      then lowering his batting hand
         into a scalding hot cup 
             of ‘Mr. Coffee’

    Where have you gone, Mrs. Robinson?
       Where else? to the bathroom
             ~ Hemorrhoids again

    Barney Fife whittling Andy’s image to
       sawdust with a rusty pocket-knife
          -- contracting tetanus in the process        

    Andy Warhol grinning madly as the 
       word ‘culture’ is finally eliminated
          from America’s lexicon


    ~ All hail to pink, plastic flamingoes! ~

How funny was they sold out to such capitalistic ideologies by promoting anything they were paid to promote.
