Kids' Paintings of Their Mothers
KIDS' PAINTINGS OF THEIR MOTHERS
A refined, young, black-haired woman who plays violin in the orchestra,
Vassili’s mum, was distinctly simeon-featured and aged,
Like a PLANET OF THE APES gorilla.
Dmitri’s mum, who has middle-brown coloured hair, a pleasant generous friendly gal,
Was a cross between Groucho Marx and Leonid Brezhnev.
Heavy uni-brow, this woman’s facial-hair problems were terminal.
Masha’s pretty redhead mother, a doctor, looked like an upended marmalade pot,
Resembling in appearance a hybrid between Elephant Man and the Terminator
Just before the steel-press scene in the TERMINATOR ONE plot
Ivan’s mum, a beautiful actress-type blonde, looked like a circus clown
With sloppy make-up plastered on without a mirror,
With a very Schwartzeneggeresque chin. I couldn’t tell if she was upside down.

NOTE
Based on actual observation of art class today (21 Feb 2011) in my junior school.
I had to leave the classroom to laugh several times.
