Jeremy was an artist, the best of his day He started as a boy, he liked to draw rather than play He was famous back then, known all through the land As the little boy from Norfolk, with the steadiest hand Peculiar he was, for he never spoke a word His parents told the public, "through his work he liked to be heard" Those who watched him recall, his face was clear and gleaned But his eyes shone dark with pain, suffering so it seemed His art may shine bright, bring light to dark times But it's not his true passion, rather his crux to draw lines He has to do it anyway, from his family it keeps dread Or rather because his parents, hold a gun against his head
