The Muscles

The canvas- propped  blank on the tripod
The artist- flicked tunes on his iPod

The acrylics- were blended
The paint brush- apprehended

The self-portrait- was nearly finished
The man- in the piece real distinguished

The signature- bold
The piece- to be sold

The neighbours- came first for the viewing
The locals- arrived and yahooing

The press- much reported
The world-prints imported

The painter-had flaunted
The muscles-Supported

The apprentice- flexed at his teacher, laughing at his procedure
Tennis balls- hit the ground, peas were then found also along with a reefer.
