Someone’s idea of art or, for that matter humor.
Just because it’s carved into a piece of stone doesn’t make it any less just another piece of Grafitti or garbage thrown into the river.
There will be those that argue this a piece of art or poetry, but I view it differently
Even stupid people have creative/artistic capability.
But it amuses me to no end the possible final thought rolling through the author’s mind in the remaining moments of consciousness after he jumped into the river, the stone tablet weighing him or her down:
“SHIT! I didn’t sign my stone!”
Or, from another perspective, the young prankster awaiting the right time to claim authorship of the discarded, poorly-executed prank.
Whatever. If it were written in 18th century prose and were well-weathered, I’d be more interested.
Thx for the amusement...
I found a really old stone was.
And I know it was old, because it was dated 12 B.C.!
