Appreciating Art
by Georgie
I took myself to night school
(To make me seem more smart)
I embarked upon a lengthy course:
"APPRECIATING ART"

I learned about Old Masters
Of Constable and Blake
Of Rubens and of Rembrandt
They're all good, for Heaven's sake

I knew about Pre-Raphaelites
Impressionists, Baroque
I studied all those modern chaps
Picasso was no joke

I studied oils and water paints
I learnt it very well
I was proud that now a Monet
From a Manet I could tell

I filled my house with pictures
That were pleasing to the eye
No photographs adorned my walls
Just paintings ceiling high

But, then one day dear Saler
She came across the sea
And a package full of Ron pics
She delivered safe to me

I gazed upon his likeness
Well, I don't know where to start
You see, this Ronald Robert Harper
IS a walking Work of Art

Forget Van Gogh and Renoir
I don't want to know at all
It is Ronald Robert Harper
Whom I want upon my wall

His handsome good looks thrill me
For those hazel eyes he's famed
Chuck out those Blakes and Turners
It's my Ron pics I want framed

What makes them all so priceless
Is so surely crystal clear
Himself has gone and signed his name
Down in the corner here.

And so, my fellow students
Aesthetically, I find
If you can't appreciate our Ron
You really must be blind

And when, as friends come calling,
With my gallery they're faced
Just wait to hear the cry go up
"BY GOD, SHE'S GOT GOOD TASTE!"
