Vincent's Chair 1888

I sat there all alone, After many visitors Have come and gone. Then I met an artist, Who graced me with his presence; A peculiar man I must insist. He asked to paint my portrait, An offer I couldn’t protest, So I sat there feeling irate. Now I’m cemented in history, Through one man’s passion for art, Each painting a truelove story. So, to the man with orange hair, I’ll always value our friendship; I am known as “Vincent’s Chair.” ____________________________ Inspired by Deborah Guzzi’s The Chairs Tale contest and The Painting “Vincent’s Chair” By Vincent Van Gogh-1888

Abe, I laughed when I read the last line. I love Van Gogh so much, I named a cat after him. Of course, it was an "orange" tabby! I really enjoyed this!
