Billy’s mommy hated spurious.
Homeschooled Billy was so curious.
She took Billy to the museum
so real artworks he could see ’em.

Classical scupture caught his eye.
One looked like mommy, Bill said “Hi!”
A torso made him think of dad
the muscleman; well just a tad.

Billy wondered “how did they do it?”
Plastocene, or did they glue it?
To show that he had been inspired,
though he knew naught of clay kiln fired,
he cut with care construction paper,
using crayons as his draper;
taped his creation to display case
so art patrons could see his face!

RUNAWAY ROLLER

They were made of sturdy stone.
He was only flesh and bone.
When steamroller’s brakes went out,
there was no time to even shout.

Nor any time to beg one’s pardon
when roller rammed through sculpture garden.
Heads and torsos broke apart,
rolling into Auto Mart.
Mr. Bill was caught off guard
and squashed quite flat near Scotland Yard.

To commemorate some way
Great Steamroller Rampage Day,
garden owner paid to fill
display with ruins, and Mr. Bill.
