*the museums
the art galleries
all had he visited
van gough
rembrandt
dali
picasso
knew he all
and their works
paintings
drawings
sculptures
and etchings
surrealist and cubist
and he dazzled his audiences
with his vast store of fact and opinion
till the sorry drunk
troubled his thoughts
with accounts of john next door
the man who visited
when our man was on his rounds
giving erudite talks
and bargaining with dealers in antiques*
