The Gates of Hell, an art non-review in verse

Why is it so bright in Hell?
So much orange, blue, pastel.
Is this the place where Luci(fer) fell?
Or one where talking mice might dwell?
Who’s that inside the thorny cell
Glued to the floor with spooge-y gel?
Is it lust for art that made them…expel?
Are the people attached if the pieces sell?
Hark as she emits a yell
And struggles to release herself!
Is she free yet? Hard to tell
The artwork is displayed pell-mell.
“You mean you can escape from Hell?”
(Exclaimed our baffled friend Noel.)
Na-ah, get back into your cell
This art demand will not be quelled.
