The Nonsense Rhyme.


If all art is useless,
Then French chefs cannot bake
Chocolate doesn't melt hearts
And Mr. Darcy is a rake!

If music cannot free your soul
And tempt you to a merry jig,
Women would shun diamonds for coal
And bald eagles proudly don a wig

If rhymes are lost and books not read,
Cinderella would have missed the ball
Goldilocks wouldn't sleep in another's bed
And an oasis could drown us all

If the myriad hues of a painted scene
Cannot a fine pair of eyes attract,
India would not the World Cup win
And Tendulkar could not hold a bat!

For life and art are meant to be
Together, till death do them part
These gateways to sheer ecstasy
Both start and stop in the heart.
