/// While Raimundo shows her how to pose,
she trades places and to his spot goes.
She picks up a paint brush.
He objects; she says “Hush…
I can draw just as well as you pros.”

While the artist is elsewhere engaged/
A small revolution’s been staged:/
And when he gets back/
From preparing his snack/
He will probably be enraged.

After her ‘touch ups’ the painting later sold for millions; and she never got any credit.

Ray’s usual model was Aline Masson,
Who usually posed with all her clothes on.
Because if the painter seemed to get frisky,
Her Doorman father made it risky
For Raimundo to keep straight his nose on.
.
Aline was a well-known coquette
A sense of humor she had, and yet —
She sometimes went a little too far
And once did comically mar
A work on which the paint was still wet.
.
Raimundo was rather peeved and annoyed
And reworked the canvas to try to avoid
Missing the delivery deadline
That was now set back by Aline
On the painting she’d partly destroyed.
.
But after some frantic perspiration
Ray had the clever inspiration
To eschew unpleasant quibble,
To incorporate the childish scribble
Into a funny genre situation.

“I haven’t heard that joke, Raimundo. Tell me, what is the difference between a palate cleanser and a palette cleanser?”

Never trust her when she says, “Let me try; I took a university art class.”

For Thursday:
if you wanted a seat at the table,
you either had to be able/
to write humongous checks/
Have magnificent pecs/
Or have legs like Betty Grable…
