/// The great painter, Jacques-Louis David,
had a Studio. Models agreed
to be posed in the nude.
This one knows he’ll be viewed
as an object (who’s hung like a steed).
/// When they’ve painted this pose he’ll be told
to take on an assignment more bold
as Marat in his bath,
after C. Corday’s wrath,
with some towels, (in case he feels cold).
/// Grégoire D’Art was the model du jour.
Said one painter who felt his allure:
“If you’re feeling forlorn,
(not to blow my own horn),
let me demonstrate my embouchure.
/// The nude model’s real name was Greg Gray.
He said, “Mec, I just don’t swing that way.
I’m here only to pose.”
That’s the reason Greg shows
Gray’s anatomy to this roué.
