About This Poem

Vincent van Gogh


Vincent Van Gogh
Was an artist you know
While out painting a deer
Truth is, it bit off his ear

    David, I wanted to wish u and your lovely bride a very Merry Christmas...I know it has been a difficult year...each day a gift...This Clerihew is a hit with Dietrich and me due to the numerous theories about how this artist lost his ear...I wonder if a jealous lover did it? Merry Christmas! Continued prayers, gwendolen

    If only Vincent knew the mark he would leave on the art world. Decendents of the Van Gogh family live right near me actually :-) they also paint and definitely use the linkage to their advantage. Hey great poem and funny. He was definitely an interesting artist :-) - shaz
