You can go too far I could go too far In the pursuit of shocking oneself into life Take a whole dollop of stomach ache Shovel in it Masquerade it as something innocuous Now I like mustard And I like people who like mustard But without wishing to state the obvious There's such a thing As too much mustard I admit to owning a jar But respectfully I'd like to say Shove your mustard Shove your white bread Shove that image that doesn't reflect reality With your mirrors and upside down easel You might put me off condiments I know it is possible I am in the frame But that and every other image is your invention

Now there is certainly an overkill on the mustard here Dilly, everything in moderation was certainly never on Lichtenstein‘s masterful palette, this one would certainly repeat on me too, may as well drink it from the jar! another brilliant interpretational piece from you, cheers David

I mean I've neglected to explore it's qualities as a poultice... Maybe that's what was going on... I'll mix it with some honey and see how it goes - thanks for your comment on this fiery one :)
