I arrived for the Fancy Dress Ball / in the most clever costume of all. / Not a one could compare / with what I chose to wear. / (Youâd agree if I werenât so small.) /// When we posed, on that magical night, / for the painter, I sought the best light. / I am bathed in itâs glow / in the 33rd row. / Iâm the 98th one from the right.
When it came to "reading a room/ Perigal was a humaan âZoomâ/ not a soul was aggrieved/ at the likeness achieved/ and some even still visit his tomb. /// He complied with a royal directive/ and he toiled at the proper perspective/ He depicted the horde/-both shareholders and board/ though not without Scottish invective.
The âsuper-spreaderâ event/ was a hit- almost everyone went./ Now âintubationâ/ is sweeping the nation/ and itâs slightly too late to repent.
I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcherâs OK) pointing to the artist info I used to point to here. This is a different caption repeat of the only work by this artist used here.Â
Pandemic protocols for social distancing had devastated Arthur Perigal the Elderâs plan to paint â A Fancy Dress Ball.â Then someone suggested the perfect solution â 400 life-size cardboard cutouts.
