The brick is photographed with the long continuous lines of grout running vertically. The image is displayed upside-down so the disappearing point for the grout is below the image.

My Poems

The poems that I write really, really suck

Lets review my poetry on demand

Most of them I write by my own quick hand

The first one that I wrote was about ducks

They were a special kind that liked to cluck

And every time you wanted to feed and

water them you had to eat a big, big lamb

And then walk through a big pile of mucky, muck

As you can see my poems really go nowhere

I so I should stop writing this boring thing

But if I did I would have very little hair

And then no one would bring me nice somethings

I really think that I shouldn't write bear

I hope the end of this leaves you laughing
