Three Melancholic Musketeers

Three melancholic musketeers
Meet melodramatically
Musk-smelling, sweat-starved
They eat a musk melon
They spit the seeds
At the wall 
And the wall
The wall gets angry
The wall swallows them 
Whole
Today
The painting sold
Of three melancholic musketeers
Holding musk melon halves
Mid-motion
Spitting seeds
At us
From the wall
