#1 Pix of Mo get the pious upset,
Be they tintypes or just silhouettes
I still use 'em, you bet,
But I never forget
To add "Ceci n'est pas un Prophète!"

#2 At Alhambra, the ingenious Escher
Was inspired by its artistic treasure,
So he drew you-know-who
In a circular queue,
With each taking the prior one's measure.

As the architects chased round and round,
They all held up their thumbs and they frowned.
As they circled, each drew
A cartoon of his view
On the rump of his prior, ungowned.

Though this vision's not strictly Islamic,
Still the portraits aren't physiognomic,
So let's bow to the genius
Who created this seamless
Allegorical tail-chasing comic!
