Raptember II: Can't Build This

Dan Thomas, an old friend of mine with too much time on his hands, is never one to back down from a challenge, so this was his contribution for the next week or raptember, with apologies to M.C. Hammer and the public at large:

 

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

 

My- my- my-

my pictures hit me, so hard,

with their blatant disregard
for the, laws of physics;
No Euclid for these graphics.
Goodbye, to old Newton,
now left is right and up is down.
I'm not, unskilled.
and this is a house (uh) you can't build.

I told you, Darboux...
You can't build this.
Yeah, that's not realistic, and you know...
You can't build this.
Look at my stairs, man.
You can't build this.
Yo, let this world melt before your eyes.
You can't build this.

All my pics, are great.
Now a fish and duck gonna tessellate.
Water, flowin' uphill

drivin' my perpetual watermill.
Your mouths are... agape
I'm sketchin' my reflection on convex shape.
With chairs. And shelves.
Meanwhile my hands are drawin' themselves.
This art ain't... for the weak willed.
This is a house (uh) you can't build.

Yo, I told you;
You can't build this.
How you standing there man?
You can't build this.
Get down before you come unstuck there.
You can't build this.

My list of works, carries on

nonconvex regular polyhedron

which, they hype

as a dodecahedron of the stellated type

with doors. Inside

a dozen turtles, together reside.

In my, pic called

Metamorphosis III chess towns unfold

into, strange birds

and fish and bees, then squares and then words.

Right to left, of course, you know...

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

Break it down.

...

 

Stop. Escher time.

The unknown sect's, ritual

continues up and down the constant, eternal

stair case, recalcitrant folk

briefly rebel, then conform to the main yolk

of our, social system.

Penrose triangle, the cube with ribbon,

im-pos-sible

as another set of stairs where you fall, fall, fall, fall

Yeah,

You can't build this.

Look man,

You can't build this.

There ain't no council, boy, will ever approve this,

You can't build this.

"This structure's, too unsound"...

Break it down.

...

Stop. Escher time.

...

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

Break it down.

...

Stop. Escher time.

Then I play some mind games, and draw my picture's sane

I leave you to try to find what's wrong within the frame.

My impact is so great, that when you try

your sure there's something wrong with, a real pond or sky.

My works have influenced, Lemmings and Doctor Who,

Sonic, Marvel, DC, Yu Gi Oh, Pokémon, rip-off clones and Zelda too.

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

You can't build this.

 

Yeah,

You can't build this.

I told you,

You can't build this.

Uh-oh!

Can't build this.

Oh, what have I done?

Can't build this.

 

That was going to be a hard one to beat. I thought that I was up to the challenge, but it took me a while to come up with a response, and in the mean time, Dan didn't let up...
