/// Cornelis Roos (AKA “Rooster”)
was always a Dutch painters booster.
Within Rijksmuseum
his good wife would flee him,
because in the gall’ry he goosed her.
/// And yet that’s not fair to Cornelis,
who’s willing with pleasure to sell us
the finest of art
from Amsterdam’s heart;
no other art dealer’s as zealous.
