It was on an 1953 issue, of Astounding Science Fiction
When Roger Taylor, a rock star, progressed with inspired conviction
The painter the band approached, was a Mr. Frank Kelly Freas
Who decided to alter his art, two parties in total agree
This painting illustrated the story, "The Gulf Between"
Inspiration finally hit home, an album cover, called "News of the World" by Queen
The alteration of his classic, includes the four members of the band
Two of them in deathly fall, whilst two are held in his hand
This giant intelligent robot was mourning the bands demise
For on the inside of this album cover, are the audience in deathly cries
If you enjoy the music of Queen, you will know the painting above
For those of you who do not, give your curiosity a shove
