Art imitates life is a familiar cant, / As shown in this portrait of a rather dour aunt. / Hodges’ palette is dark and grim. / I suppose the best that can be said of him, / Is this poor homage to the subdued dark hues of a Rembrandt.

/// Mrs. Richard Kent (née Hannah Gookin),
in her day was considered good lookin’.
Despite “resting bïtch face,”
her full bust and slim waist
could have helped her earn big bucks by hookin.’

The artist perfectly captured Margret’s personality by muddying the colours.

This starving artist was so poor, . . .
How poor was he?
He was so poor, he could only afford to pay models at night.

Delilah Pomppusbore, once a vain beauty
And most notoriously snooty
Liked to flaunt her once-youthful good looks
And demurely feigned to read books
As she sat on her well-aligned booty.
.
But there came inevitably a day
When her glamorous show-off display
Was seen as mere pretense and haughty.
She still expected glances as naughty
That were not intended really that way.
.
A good-looking young man quite debonair
Fixed her in a most flattering stare,
Then he approached, kissed her hand
And said, “Oh, isn’t it grand!
The image of mon arriere-grand-mere!”
.
The hard mental shock that resulted
Made her frozen and quite insulted,
And left poor Delilah in dismay
On this very same portraiture day
When she should have felt much exalted.

Her beauty lies in sites unseen/
Below, beneath, behind, between/
Her lower limbs, two pillars, weighted/
Part – when she is compensated.///
For she was told, long years ago/
Her value lies somewhere below/
Beneath, behind, betwixt, between/
And therefore should be left unseen..///
No one could call her slim or sprightly/
(To be quite candid, she’s unsightly)/
Yet somehow, midst the prepositions/
She generates some propositions/
And does a booming business nightly.

This painter seems unable to render
either color or form with much splendor,
but intended or not,
there’s one skill he has got:
to portray indeterminate gender.
