Third Grade RecitationMy cousin and I were dismayed
By the kids who were in her third grade
They had no answers to tell
Though they spoke very well
And knew how impressions were made!

but the aesthetics don't fit the phonetics
ya can't be a couple-a-couplets
droppin' duo doubles...

that others may see
Cut out a matisse

Throw me a pollock

Abstract me a rothko

Draw like da vinci
a portrait of me...
