Sacré Bleu Mon Garde
At an undisclosed French Art museum
Guard scans with flashlight patrolling in the dark
Inspecting why noises didn't trigger alarm
At midnight spooked by clock's tic toc
New three-dimensional art is on display
Realistic portraits appeared leaping from canvas
Executed in style of Trompe L'Oeil
Guard noticing movement fled feeling anxious
Next day appeared an additional piece
No one knew how it got there
Amazingly materialized portrait of guard Maurice
Eye's followed viewers as they stare
