Picnicking In Paris

The men are handsome in their suits and ties The women casually nude picnicking in Paris in the 1860's. This must be the new way Parisians are cultured Perhaps this is what we should all be doing I stare at the freedom of the women They are the lucky ones. I kick off my knickers; I pull my dress over my head Loud yelling commences A museum guard runs up and covers me in a hazmat suit He leads me into a room with other women who are all nude Apparently we all saw the same canvas

Were you inspired by Edouard Manet's painting "Luncheon on the Grass" which is displayed in the Musee d'Orsay? I submitted a poem about that painting some time ago.
