That artistic Italian Belinni,
Once ordered a toasted panini,
He was sitting alone,
But he started to moan,
As his sausage was only a weenie!

An impressionist called Vincent van Gogh
Developed a bit of a cough,
Whilst shaving one morning
He coughed without warning
And THAT'S how he cut his ear off!!

An artist called Johannes Vermeer,
Was quietly drinking a beer,
A girl with an earring
Said something endearing,
So he smiled and thought "That's an idea!"

Raphael's old mate, namely Titian,
Was thinking of taking up fishin',
He was reading a book
About slinging your hook,
Then strode off with his rod on a mission!!

That renaissance-ish artist Raphael,
Was sketching while sat in a gale,
A gust took his pad
Which made him quite sad,
As his subject was Jonahs'  great whale!

Millet was doing a dance,
As he painted a farm in Provence,
He would turn in a rush
And while holding his brush
Adopt a most classical stance!

Gauguin was eating a peach,
While painting a scene on the beach,
A girl who was nude
Thought he looked rather lewd,
So she kept herself way out of reach!!

Monet would sit by the lake,
Painting lilies whilst eating a cake,
He dropped crumbs in the water,
Which upset his daughter,
But pleased all the fish and a snake!!

Rodin was chipping away,
At a big lump of marble one day,
He was sculpting a bloke,
But with one dodgy stroke,
The wobbly bits all flew away!

An artist called 'Toulose' L'Autrec,
Thought landscapes a pain in the neck,
So he painted in bars,
Drank Absinthe from jars,
Which left him an absolute wreck!!

The Had Matters Peat Arty

Never played a game
i ever wanted to win
place the power drill against your chin
played roulette with some Russians
No grets grets(regrets for those unknown)
Peat Peat can i say that again

I see the ether shadows
rip themselves from
beneath the canvas page
And form t_________f in a shape you only see.
