The Street Artist's Sailboat
There once was a well-known street artistWho was as clever as could be.He could make his art very lifelikeWhich was quite a sight to see.He liked tricking people with his artFor it was all too easy. One day, while walking down the streetWith his art supplies in hand,He couldn't help but notice that The roads just looked too bland.If only it had a bit more pizzazzWouldn’t that be grand?After staring at the street for a while,An idea came to his head.If there wasn’t anyone who could brighten the road,He would do it himself instead.Looking at his chalks, he thought "Why not?"He might as well go ahead.He stepped right onto the empty roadMaking sure no cars were coming by,It was time to set his plan into action,He might as well give it a try.He knew this project would be the best,Though he wouldn’t tell others why. With his chalk, he began to drawFor an hour, or maybe twoHe added some black, a bit of white,And just a few touches of blue.How clever he was, for thinking of somethingThat was completely unique and new. At last, he stepped back to observe what he drew,It was a small, modest sailboatSurrounded by a large puddle of waterWith ripples keeping it afloat.The artist thought this as his best workAlthough he didn’t want to gloat. Then he walked off and stood in a cornerWaiting for the action to unfoldHis masterpiece was sure to amuse others Both the young and the old.There was no way anyone could buy that sailboat,It would just be too good to be sold.After some time passed, a random passerbyWas taking a casual walk,When all of a sudden, the walker noticed somethingThat made him stop and gawk. What he saw was so peculiar,It gave him quite a shock. There was a sailboat in the middle of the roadFloating on a great big puddle.How on earth did it even get here?The sight made the man a bit muddled.Soon a whole crowd gathered aroundAnd near the sailboat the huddled. What were a small lake and a sailboatDoing right in the middle of the road?The boat looked incredibly lifelikeAnd all the details really showed. No doubt, if drivers saw this little boatTheir cars would definitely be slowed. But then a puzzled man took a closer look,And was he ever surprised?A few other people could see it, too,They just couldn't believe their eyes.Right next to this real-looking boatWere the artist's left-behind supplies. "Oh my!" They said. "This is not a real boatAnd that is not a real lake."The chalks left behind made it easy to tellIt was all completely fake.In disbelief, everyone cried out,"We've been tricked, for heaven's sake!" Suddenly, they heard someone chucklingComing from the back of a wall.They turned their heads and saw the artistsAnd suddenly they knew it all.They couldn't believe they fell for artSo simple and small. The street artist thought it was so funnyTo see the look on their faces. They wouldn't expect to see a sailboatOn the street out of all placesIt was so easy to fool everyoneAlthough he left a few traces. So, if anyone tried to conceive youThat something wacky was true,Be skeptical, and try to stop themBy finding a clue or two. Nobody ever wants to be fooledOr tricked easily - do you?...
