Study No. 6

Higgledy piggledy
Xavier the Runaway,
Hoping for haven from
Jingoist jerk,
Scurried his way up the
Ben Franklin Parkway, his
Self-preservational
Instincts at work.

Hippity hoppity
Xavier the Clamberer
Mounted the steps at the
End of the road,
Neoconservative
Backers behind him, and
Looked for another small
Key to the code.

Visible risible
Xavier the Questioner
Reached the Museum and
Took in the scene—
There on his right was a
Sketcher of visitors
Monochromatically
Making some green.

Quizzical physical
Xavier the Curious
By this young artist had
Reason to sit
Watching him outline the
Musculoskeletal
Frameworks of customers
Lickety-split.

Possibly passably
Xavier the Eagle-Eyed
Spotted a sketch that was
Marked with a “Y.”
“Quite a fine fox,” he said,
Adding with emphasis,
Hypercorrectively,
“’Tween you and I.”

Flippingly flippantly
Xavier the Supplicant
Got a response from the
Portraitist, who,
Making a motion quite
Unceremonious,
Said, “Over there if you’d
Care to pursue.”
