How Did You Two Meet?

This artist girl I met asked will you van gogh out with me?

so I told her don’t matisse me

cause there was a renoir going on in my head

mondrian to myself if I should ask you the same

so she gave me her number and made me promise not to dali

to not forget to kahlo her soon

and I told her honestly I’d definitely rembrandt

and invite you to a charming munch

and she said she knew a great greco place

with some real pissarro lighting and decor

close enough we could almost hopper there

and I said that idea filled me with klee

and she said don’t worry about splitting the monet

if you can rothko right now because I invited you

and I said no you’ll pay basquiat since the pleasure will be all mine

and she said I think you may be my next duchamp
