Quick on the draw,
paintbrush, pen or plectrum:
never can do enough.
I have more fun
than Andrew - so he says,
although my name doesnt'
mean turd, does it?
'Infantile daubs': so what?
What all those critics know
about art won't
fill a haiku. Don't take it
seriously, Tracey.
Remember that
for posterity's sake!
It's not your fault, either.

Lol, I love, What all those critics know
about art won't
fill a haiku.

it reminds me of a bad haiku I wrote once called:-

Haiku of a Poet

He has a notion
Then paints it bright with words, to
Make it visible.

I love this cynical streak of yours. Val

If you don't behave yourself I'll tell your Dada!
