It’s not what you do but where you do it that matters,
get that wrong and your reputation’s in tatters;
we consider roadside billboards as desecration,
replacement of vista with picture, adulteration,
the neon sign and flashing lights are too glitzy,
but in their place they can make things seem ritzy,
and the posters of Mucha and Lautrec are a treasure,
works of art both fine and priced beyond measure.
