Overheard outside the Mauritshuis in the Hague:
“When I first saw that girl in the painting,
I must tell you, I came close to fainting.
She looks so much like me
that my family tree
and I soon need to be reacquainting.”
/// “I must have her or never find peace;
I believe I’m her great great grandneice.
Back in the museum,
the guards, (when I see ‘em),
have each threatened to call the police.”
/// They all claim that I’m mad and obsessing
over art I’ve no chance of possessing.
At my sanity hearing
I will wear one pearl earring,
and in blue and gold headscarf be dressing.
