Whiskers That Free W T F Contest
Whiskers That Free
Inspired by the painting Magdalena Ventura with Her Husband and Son by Jusepe de Ribera, 1631.
The painting shows a bearded lady with her husband, breastfeeding an infant.
Viewing the painting will (perhaps) make sense of the poem
God gave me the chance to win
By placing whiskers on my chin
I feed my child from my form
The extra hair keeps my husband warm
Aged 52 third child I nurse
My face keeps money in my purse
Nature's wonder is my gloat
Or my long beard ala billy goat
I know I'm sure to draw the crowd
Oh joy to be bearded and well endowed
Forget his beard, styled for fashion parade
It's me, oh me who does get paid
I can do it all, fame, nurse, cook and clean
Quiz my guy about where he's been
He'll never get another looker like me
World renowned and incredible fertility
My name is Magdalena Ventura magnifique
I'm beautifully well paid for being unique
