What Does He Call his Cat

what does he call his cat, do you know?
I looked around and guessed “maybe Van Gogh”
The guy was a painter, and had copied Starry Night
I was astounded to find out later that I was right

The cat was Van Gogh, and his dog was Poe
He was a writer too, which I truly did not know
A painter also, there was nothing he could not do
I marveled at his works done up in oranges and blue
