MASTERPIECE #3589
John Mix Stanley, American
The Moana Lisa, 1849
Oil on canvas
/// When you look at them, there’s no denyin’
that this lei-round-her-head young Hawaiian
Girl and Her Dog seem
like a very odd meme,
with her meat necklace ready for fryin’.
/// Though the girl wears her best island glam,
that thing wound round her neck is a sham.
All traditions debasing,
it’s a tightly-stuffed casing,
(still un-linked), filled with finely ground Spam.
/// The girl’s dog shows it isn’t a chore
to face forward and simply ignore
the odd “necklace” she wore,
because he knew the score.
(He had eaten Spam hot dogs before.)
