[Surrounded by Disturbing Art](http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/05/14/surrounded-by-disturbing-art/), posted on the Metropolitan Diary blog of the NY Times. The first verse:

> [@](#):
>
> I was triggered at the Frick.  
> Those alarming Veroneses  
> may appeal to certain crazies;  
> I felt terrified and sick.

It’s the most intelligent and cleverest bit of humor I’ve seen for a long time.
