I had an art,

but I've lost it.

When I was young

I would put dabs of paint on canvas

for the joy of it.

We were masters of the universe,

my brush and I.

So I went to school

and learned to paint

in the style of Leonardo,

Van Gough, yes, Picasso.

I sell a lot of paintings, now

I had an art,

but I've lost it.
