Don'T Let That Horse Poem by Lawrence Ferlinghetti

Don'T Let That Horse

Rating: 3.3


Don't let that horse
eat that violin

cried Chagall's mother

But he
kept right on
painting

And became famous

And kept on painting
The Horse With Violin In Mouth

And when he finally finished it
he jumped up upon the horse
and rode away
waving the violin

And then with a low bow gave it
to the first naked nude he ran across


And there were no strings
attached

Holy Kenneth Clark, Batman. Naked nude with no strings attached. Droll

Most deserving as The Modern Poem Of The Day! A hilarious sketch by the great poet Ferlinghetti. About the cubistic-expressionistic french-russian painter how Chagall had become famous, of course very strange if a horse eats violin strings!
