[Preston, Moderator]

Not my idea of a holiday,
Of course you must do it your way.

[Roger]

What can I say?
It was a very long day.

[Roger]

But no point being full of long sighs,
It's time to switch off and rest my eyes.

[Preston, Moderator]

It's only 8 pm and you're going to bed?
That short trip must have rattled your head.

[Preston, Moderator]

Just throw all your stuff in a heap,
Then go to bed and get some sleep.

[Roger]

Now I'm feeling much better,
Well enough to write a letter.

[Roger]

But to whom should it be sent,
Full of words so well meant?

[Roger]

I know what I will do!
I'll write it and post it to you!

[Preston, Moderator]

That's costly with a Royal Stamp,
Send it to Marcel Duchamp.

[Preston, Moderator]

I understand his urinal art,
is now his mailbox counterpart.

[Preston, Moderator]

"Full of words so well meant"?
What better place could they be sent?

[Roger]

He invested everything ready-made
With the look of something already laid.

[Roger]

When there was never time to lose
To Lautrec he'd turn to get the booze.

[Roger]

Lautrec was out drawing Tina
The Moulin Rogue's cute ballerina

[Roger]

So Duchamp was forced to fall back
On Plan B with the Cubist Gerorges Braque.

[Roger]

And where had he gone? All the way to Burkina Faso,
Which left Duchamp forcéd to rely on Picasso.

[Preston, Moderator]

I'll tell you dear cubist painters give me a boner,
but when I try to find them they're around another corner.

[Preston, Moderator]

I really think that conceptual is the best,
But you really gotta think there is all in jest.

[Preston, Moderator]

No joke I do like art that is funny,
But I can't buy comics cuz I ain't got the money.

[Roger]

The Futurists were ever so cheap in Italy,
They took speed and painted it brilliantly.

[Roger]

But for Vorticists who worked exclusively for Britain,
Their ultimate failure on the wall was written.

[Preston, Moderator]

The Vorticists were from the planet Vortic,
They came in huge spaceships because they were gigantic.

[Preston, Moderator]

When they arrived all the world was frantic,
Until we found out they were all exceedingly romantic.

[Roger]

In a flash everyone was jumping up and down crying, "Please!"
Because everyone was desperate for a piece of the Vortices.

[Roger]

They loved the vibrant colors all in a swirl
Vortex after vortex, all in a whirl.

[Roger]

But there were those who much preferred a mist
The sort of picture painted by an Impressionist.

[Preston, Moderator]

While all the world thought they would attack,
They just made love and read books by Zack.

[Roger]

That's so sweet, and they sure loved their toys and everything in vogue
While getting off reading Hot For Boys: The Sexy Adventures Of Rogue

[Preston, Moderator]

Zack art prices rose by a factor of umpteen,
As did books authored by Roger Kean.

[Roger]

It's amazing but if you spend time to look around,
You can get a Zack autograph for only a pound.

[Roger]

That's a lot more than it is for me
A Roger Kean signature comes free.

[Preston, Moderator]

They also had a passion for things all dirty that bordered on obscene,
The muddy wrestling in Mississippi Hustler was their favorite scene.

[Roger]

Oh, those Vorticists from Vortic, they held sway
And rocked all day to anything the least bit gay

[Preston, Moderator]

They were so upset they all sobbed in great cacophony,
when they found out there was only one book by Rod Bellamy.

[Roger]

They cried in torrents until their eyes were swollen,
And then they heard the next novel is by Kip Nolan.

[Preston, Moderator]

Pulp fiction is all well and good guv,
But I want more Rufio and Quint's Roman love.

[Roger]

Reader David Lister has complained
That if he knew he would have refrained

[Roger]

From reading about Rufio's mighty lance
Because it meant David ruined his pants.

[Roger]

He thinks the book should have a public warning:
"New Pants Not Supplied" or you'll be mourning

[Roger]

Because the book is so bawdy
It makes for a lot of new laundry.

[Preston, Moderator]

Naw, just go commando and wear a tunic,
and enjoy the stories of boys hedonic.

[Preston, Moderator]

And if you hear the voice of one braggadocio,
That'd be our boy the insatiable Rufio.

[Roger]

I'll save him from more soapy machine gyration
By passing on your simple recommendation!

[Preston, Moderator]

Keep a look out for his accomplice,
The blue-blooded but sizzling noble Quintus.

[Roger]

One thing I'd certainly rather:
Not to end up on his spatha.

[Preston, Moderator]

1798 was no quick little dash
but a rhyme worthy of Ogden Nash.

[Preston, Moderator]

It's certainly a truism,
Unless, spatha was a euphemism,

[Preston, Moderator]

Although a spatha's about 40 inches,
so how would he fit it in his britches?

[Preston, Moderator]

Granted 40 inches would win a dong award,
I'd think it would be as deadly as the sword.

[Roger]

Though he boasts, he's reasonable is Rufio,
Compares his equipment's length to the pugio.
