Reflections on the Turner Prize

A golden carriage with cushions of velvet,
Height of all decadence and curtains with pelmets,
Heraldic designs of sartorial splendour,
Power to do them to death or dismember,
Listen to madrigals and watch them swing,
He is omnipotent, Emporer and King,
But then from the crowd hysteria grows,
He’s totally naked, devoid of his clothes,
And like those poor peasants in fear of their lives,
Our modern art critics would dare not decry,
That great institution of people so wise,
Artistic salvation, the grand Turner Prize,
Porn and perspex, suspended ceilings,
Conceptual clutter devoid of meaning,
It’s fun to see and fantasy,
But thinly-veiled hypocrisy,
And next year no doubt the judges will say,
This startling blank canvas, why it takes my breath away.

Oh Eastway,
Yet another sensational offering from you. The way that you write is so spectacular and I think that you should be voted the No 1 poet on YPDC. You are brilliant and without your entries this site no doubt would collapse. I am in love!
