Channelling Twain
Always fond of painting,
my preference, Realism,
I did a portrait of Bidden –
but the nose kept going
beyond the frame – so, with
desire for the problem to
tame, naturally, I got an-unnaturally
larger frame. Soon, with necessary,
repeated application, the wall gave way,
and the nose was out in the
rain – then, my neighbors
began to complain – myself at last
reasoning, that, when rendering
politicians, Modern Abstract, like Hunter's,
would be a medium more sane –
I discarded my begun Harris,
probably an ever greater
migraine.
