/// Lucie looked at what Vivianne drew,
“Your reflection? It does look like you.”
With a frown, Viv looked up;
she’d been sketching her pup.
Lucie, you’ve got some ’splainin’ to do!
/// Thinking quick, Lucie shouted out “Psych!”
“You’ve got talent; you draw like van Dyck.”
Peering into the mirror,
Lucie’s error came clearer:
Pet and owner look somewhat alike.
/// The small puppy would not hold its pose.
Though commanded to— he never froze.
He so frequently moved,
it would not have improved
Viv’s sketch, had it been rendered by pros.
/// Viv paid Lucie for the drawing lesson
with pâté from her delicatessen,
which was too high a price
for such bad art advice.
Lucie sullies the teaching profession.
