A small printed booklet with poetry by Gerrit Kouwenaar and drawings by Constant. Kouwenaar was a member of the Dutch poetry group known as the 'Vijftigers,' which had close ties to the CoBrA movement. They created it in 1949 and it was supposed to be a little joke. This is also one of the lines in the booklet: 'Everyone considers themself to be a joke. A joke is allowed' The words and drawings are an expression of the playfullness of their creators where sometimes the words came first and the drawings followed as a reaction and sometimes the other way around.
