Monet's Boat
Mr. Monet don't you fall
I like your boat hang on tight
Do you fish are you fishing
I'll come up closer and look
I'm not sure where you are now
It's not your pond that's for sure
Your pond is so much smaller
There I like walking your bridge
Mr. Monet could I ride
Ride in this your fishing boat
I would like that very much
I say thank you in advance

Note: We were in Monet's stomping place for several days, his garden near where he severed his ear

And I am sure Mr Monet would oblige! What a refreshing poem - Jae
Seems like Mr. Monet enjoys his solitude.
A fun poem to Monet. Are you mixing him up with Van Gogh? I don't recall Monet having a severed ear. He did have problems with his eyesight though.
Very nicely done, Jim. Having a shaded boat to fish from would be great!
Maybe fishing could be another use of the boat except as a floating place to paint
Haha! A fun poem, Jim.
