Say, Where Did That Come From?

by Steven Kent

“Old Master painting looted by Nazis spotted in Argentinian property listing”
The Guardian

This listing’s hot;
It’s quite a find.
In here we’ve got. . .
Uh, never mind.

The flooring’s new,
Three beds, a den—
Let’s check that view
Outside again!

What rich decor!
What finery!
The art, señor?
I did not see.
