Frank E Gibbard Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Van Gogh was a troubled soul off went the ear he popped it in a bowl, took it bloodied to a local brothel, gave it to the girl he liked who said "Bloody hell!" but in French of course. Well she would wouldn't she? Swell gift, a bloody lobe. A pro used to what a client proposes never would turn up her nose at roses, choccies, naturellement but non non, non to body parts there her professionalism departs, even a French respect for the finer arts; ports Van Gogh's bits in her bag off to gendarmes with nasty swag. "Regardez vous - that Dutch piss instead of a shag he gives me this. Strange fellow always wants me to dress in yellow, I think he's so sad." Quote

Wonderful stuff. I have Van Cough (Amsterdam pronunciation) reproductions, best viewed from a distance, since he has been reported to have had astigmatism. My g'daughter has painted knock offs of a couple--they are more precious to me than the originals. Some say a thin line separates artists from insanity. Enjoyed your tongue-in-cheek rendition greatly. Franklin Quote
dcmarti1 Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 Besides your radical topics, you have this unique "end word rhyming with another word just somewhere down the line". Way cool. Quote

I'm into it too - went to the Manet Exhibition at the British Academy recently. Frank Quote

Good of you to read and comment, and perceptively by which I mean the inner rhyme observation, I do use it a lot lately.Thanks Marti. Frank. Quote
Tinker Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Good one Frank, Many years ago I went to a Van Gogh exhibit and fell in love with his work. I can still close my eyes and see some of those paintings in my mind they made such an impression. I went to that exhibit right after I became engaged to be married. We will celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary in November. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com
