It reminds me of a Monty Python sketch with a Scottish supposedly genius poet Ewan McTeagle who wrote beggar letters to people which were interpreted by the culture elites as the highest form of art. 🤣

"To my own beloved Lassie, a poem on her 17th birthday. Lend us a couple of bob till Thursday, I'm absolutely skint. But I'm expecting a postal order, And I can pay you back as soon as it comes. Love, Ewan"

St John Limbo (Cleese) sitting on an inflatable armchair analyses McTeagle's poem content and introduces McTeagle's greatest work, Can I have 50 Pounds to Mend the Shed?. An Ian McKellen-type performer (Idle) stands in the dark and recites the poem:

"Can I have 50 pounds to mend the shed? I'm right on my uppers. I can pay you back when this postal order comes From Australia. Honestly. Hope the bladder trouble's getting better. Love, Ewan."
