Fsss Up.


He had not been educated
Up to artists celebrated,
But he had some friends who prated
OF true art and symbolism
And lot of things like that
And who looked upon as common
And, In fact. as quite dumb one
And a heather every some one
Who could not see through their
prism
And appear TO like their chat.
So he oft grew eulogistic
Ger some picture-so artistic.
Still so striking and so mystic.
So lit up with inspiration.
So poetic in its tone:

Odd and yet SO realistic.
