MY MODERN ART


                                                         


 

Oh god!...I cant stand this torture!

  please..please..please

another word of this never ending lecture

  & I'm surely gonna freeze!!!

 can I scream?..,gosh! I'm about to freak!

  maybe a sketch to bring out da Vinci in me

my imagination is at its sublime peak

  when that "being" is in front of me!

no..not an "out-of-the-world" idea I think,

  sketching her will be a slap on my creativity

but hearing her shrill voice makes my heart sink

  & sitting there poses a big question on my integrity!

that's it!...the catalyst to my frustrations

  my canvas right there! how I couldn't see?

my desk!..witness to my turbulations

  yes my companion...my ally!

the journey began, scribbling & writing some quotes

  things like," women from Venus & men from mars!"

I got some slight giggles when I wrote

  "get high on milk because cows have grass!"

"HATE HER" I wrote in bold with inverted commas

   below that I made a caricature of that "being"

oh! hearing her was such a deep trauma

  I wonder if my neighbours were still listening!

fifteen minutes to go..no you wont quit!

  so I made a flower & wrote "peace" below

many more thoughts but no place to fit

  hey you.. better control this "creativity-flow"

five more minutes..anything else to consider?

  a piece of Modern Art my desk became

aha!..the signature of this great inventor

  so in one corner in italics I engraved my name!

amen! the bell finally rang..a heavenly chime

  about to leave, I admired my work grotesque!

only me who knows how to value time

  but then I saw a Modern Art on every desk!
