Modern Art At Its Finest

That magnificent canvas on the museum wall
  Is it a bubble, a bauble, a bird -- or nothing at all?
Its mystery the artist masterfully disguised 
  So patrons will its enigma forever analyze

Ah, Gershon you hint so well at the absurdity (in my eyes) of modern art-- I figure, if I can do it, it ain't art, and yet some of it goes for millions. I wish you had expanded on this prime example of human irrationality.

Ha, ha, L.J! Can't remember the last time anyone asked ME to write or say MORE. It's usually, "Would you shut-up already?! … At any rate, perhaps 'more is less' and/or 'less is best.' ~ Gershon

I never see what I think they wanted me to, and I imagine millions of others do not either. It is like poetry; the poet and the artist are the ones who know. Sometimes I wonder if they throw it down as a test, to see if we have the meddle to call them on it.
