Artifactish by Squeeky Fromm
There is a face, I do declare,
A face they say that isnt there.
It isnt there, is what they say.
Oh, how I wish itd go away
I looked again, I had to see,
And it was smiling there at me.
As big as life on the Abstract,
Or is it just an artifact???
Go away, go away. And end this episode.
Go away, go away. Are you a Sekrit Code???
Oh, I am trying NOT to stare
And see the face that isnt there.
It isnt there, is what they say.
Oh, how I wish itd go away!!!

Note: This poem is based on Antigonish by William Hughes Mearns. Wiki says Mearns is credited with the well-known rhyme, composed in 1899 as a song for a play he had written, called The Psyco-ed. The play was performed in 1910 and the poem was first published as Antigonish in 1922.
Antigonish
Yesterday upon the stair
I met a man who wasnt there
He wasnt there again today
Oh, how I wish hed go away
When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldnt see him there at all!
Go away, go away, dont you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please dont slam the door
Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasnt there
He wasnt there again today
Oh, how I wish hed go away
Regarding the smiley face “A”: That one act alone typifies the degenerate and disrespectful nature of the “effete corp of impudent snobs” that runs interference for this administration. They should use it as their logo.
