Scene: The Yard.

Why in the name of art anoint

The wounds of war with salty paint

At present there is just complaint

About the ravages of war

So why beyond the very door

Of Widener must we meet each day

Two smug reminders of the fray?

Oh why must we commemorate

In noble terms, that which we hate?

Hudlbras:

But Ralpho, those murals are decorations,

Not objects of studied concentration.

You've stated your case but I'm unconvinced

And at some of your criticisms I've winced,

For you judge too much with animalia
