After World War One there came
A type of art that was quite strange
And ruffled up the feathers of convention,
Mocking the traditional
Embracing the irrational
Seemed to be the point of this invention.
And the name of all this strange
Art that seemed rather deranged
Was taken from a most unusual word,
The French word for Hobby Horse
“Dada” which seemed to enforce
The randomness of style so absurd!
