THE CUBIES'
A is for Art in the Cubies' domain-- Archipenko's their guide, Anatomics their bane; They're the joy of the mad, the despair of the sane, --A is for Art in the Cubies' domain.
B is for Beauty as Brancusi views it. First you seize all that's plain to the eye, then you lose it; Next you search for the Soul and proceed to abuse it. --B is for Beauty as Brancusi views it.
C is for Color Cubistic ad libitum-- "Throw them all on your boards," Cubies say, "then exhibit 'em!" There'll be no colors left, if we don't soon prohibit 'em! --C is for Color Cubistic ad libitum.
D is for Duchamp, the Deep-Dyed Deceiver, Who, drawing accordeons, labels them stairs, With a lady that must have been done in a fever,-- His model won't see her, we trust, it would grieve her!-- --D is for Duchamp, the Deep-Dyed Deceiver.
E's for the Ego, intense and Exotic, Enjoyed by a Cubie, and quaintly Expressed In a lachrymose face with a gaze idiotic When seen on the canvas.--It's really Quixotic To offer one's soul to the Cubical test! --E's for the Ego, intense and Exotic.
