    /// 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 thought the painting would get more attention if the subject showed some cleavage.

    It might look silly, but Mary found that putting a hot towel on her head was the best way to stop her migraines.

    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.

    Mrs. Grundy, long a widow and the arbiter of public morals, hopes it is just excess tummy fat — not a “baby bump.”

    “Dumbfounded”…..absolutely dumbfounded. Myrtle had no idea of the meaning of the word until just now. Moments previously, she had looked it up in the dictionary, only to find this picture of herself.

    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.

    Joe the artist thought it was funny giving Granny bosoms and putting a washcloth on her head.

    He was wrong.

    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.

    The onanism instruction manual kind of assumed she knew she had to remove her clothes before starting.

    Magna had to pee so bad, but the Damm painter didn’t let her go,, so he had to color over the wet spot.

    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.
