A potential piece of yellowism


Man who defaced Tate’s Rothko canvas claims he improved it
The Guardian, 8 October 2012

some fool once sat on a valuable art exhibit
which looked precisely like an lavatory seat

then had to leave with a painfully swollen bladder
having read somewhere a urinal signed was art

and I was inspired, by the way a crow (or was it a gull?)
skewered to a wall at the Tate drew a gullible crowd,

to stand before a framed blank fire-escape door
stroking my chin, waiting to see who'd do the same

but the joke was on me, the door potentially yellow
like many a canvas primed for a finishing coat
