Wrong Target
Two protesters, breaking some laws
To convince folks to notice their cause,
Threw two cans of red soup
And stood by as the goop
Trickled down a Van Gogh without pause.
It was “Sunflowers,” and, worst of all,
They then glued themselves fast to the wall.
The tomato soup’s aim
Only damaged the frame,
Though the act in itself did appall.
Still, I wonder, did nobody see
What was obvious, clearly, to me?
Flinging soup at Van Gogh
Makes no sense, since we know
How appropriate Warhol would be!
