This painting always cracked me up. The man sitting opposite the naked woman is her brother, the man next to her is her fiance. So her nudity is fully in the face of her brother, which seems a little uncomfortable to me. Also, she sits fully naked on the blanket while the men swelter in their woolen suits.

/// Manet’s painting, “Luncheon on the Grass,”
was a shock to the French middle class.
Not the the bare girl they eyed;
what her bareness implied.
Classic nudes are OK— this was crass.

/// What would cause these two ladies to strip
and then casually go take a dip?
An apt diagnosis—
they are under hypnosis,
and believe they’re alone on this trip.

Luncheon Pigeon on the Grass a Lass
I dropped a smidgen of my pigeon on the grass alas
I feel the smidgens of that pigeon on my a$$ alas
If they were not pigeon smidgens what were they.
Pigeon bits on my t!ts alas onto the grass
A mass alas so crass on my a$$ sitting on the grass a lass.
And across the grass my sister Cass has caught a bass
Alas for bass and smidgen pigeon and this fine grass …

Looks like the picnic in Paul McCartney’s dream in ‘Give My Regards to Broad Street’… except everyone’s dressed in the movie

Haha! This a great one! Classic!
What a strange painting though; there must be some context that we aren’t aware of.

Two artists met up to discuss/
How a woman’s constructed, and thus /when their model displayed/
how a woman is made/
They gave her a grade of A plus !
