Art Appreciation.
What a mess of a painting.
Just what does it mean?
Two wheels in one corner,
With a nose in between.
And that misshapen body,
The face that's all teeth;
One pendulous breast
And an eye underneath.
The artist's name isn't clear
--Looks like E1 Paso?
No. Now I can see it,
The painter's Picasso!!
The veil has been lifted,
A new comprehension
Allows me to see
The artist's intention,
How could I have failed,
In my judgemental rush,
To see that a genius
Had wielded the brush?
