MODERN ART

"Now, this is Tracy Emin's bed,"

"Next door, you'll find a cow and calf,
Sawn (by Damien Hurst) in half.
These sell for bucket-loads of cash,
But me? I think they're utter trash."

"What does it mean?" Augustus said.
"That lady, standing all in red?
And someone reading something blue,
And naked boobs, and flowers too.

His wife replied, "I've no idea.
Like so much modern art, it's...queer.
But no. It wouldn't go in here."
