Mag 167 — Memo to Mary Cassatt



Mary, Mary you must have been
in a contrary mood
the day you painted this husky
dude, made him pretty in pink
playing with pink blossoms,
twirling and tossing pretend
long scented locks, saying
"fiddle-dee-dee" and dreaming
of powdered-sugar delicacies
to have with afternoon tea.

You placed him under that tree
of knowledge to sample the fruit,
and, Mary, it appears to have
done the trick I see, for
here we witness the woot-woot!
moment when the gentle gent
blossomed in springtime as she.


Written for The Mag: Mag 167 that inspired with the above art prompt
(Young Woman Picking the Fruit of Knowledge, 1892 by Mary Cassatt).
