Bugging The Masterpiece Poem by Ima Ryma

Bugging The Masterpiece



The Mona Lisa painting has
To get a good check up each year,
And was awaiting just such, as
The museum folks did appear.
But with them came a big, fat fly
That took a liking to the art,
Landing right on Mona's right eye,
Its legs scratching the paint apart.
One of the museum folks took
A tissue, and tried to remove
The bug, but nervous, his hand shook,
And 'splat' was heard throughout the Louvre

The splattered fly guts trickled down,
And made the Mona Lisa frown.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This poem is a statement, and it raises some basic aesthetic questions about the arts seen through the eyes and how that is connected with the utterance which a poem entails. Moreover aesthetic questions are also existential questions. The metatext surrounding the last sentence/stanza is quite wide in scope. Let the readers do some thinking about what I have said here.
