Why Paint With Paint

Why Paint with Paint Artist John Knuth To tell you the truth Paints with a broad swath of color His reds are bright reds His blues are bright blues But his greens and his browns are much duller For the truth of the matter He paints with fly splatter Instead of the usual paint He raises each fly (He’s a pretty sick guy) And a typical artist he ain’t He feeds his flys sweets Water color mixed treats Then he coaxes the flys to throw up He then captures that waste Makes it into a paste And that’s how his colors show up He says once you had tried Fly barf, you’d decide To forfeit all other subtext So he paints from the start What he claims is fly art It really is not that complex Uncle Mike
