Beauty Of Form And The Menace Of Humour

Autoplay

When a regular stack of orange octagons
above a white ground
appears,
instead of
white cows' heads or hats
flying in formation
above uniformly-square orange fields,
does beauty of form
triumph over the menace of humour;

and when the reverse happens,
does the one
not exist without the other?
