Picasso, when seen
At paintings, between,
Was requested about his vocation.
 
The question was asked
For reasons unmasked
To discover his base motivation.

"I make, I am told",
He said, voice quite bold,
"A series that never ceases
Of many objects
In various ways.
Accepted the sum, masterpieces."

"All that I do
In periods blue
Or monuments sharp and cubic
Get admired by all
On the floor or the wall
Whether subjects are bland or pubic."

"I never distress
That I might make a mess,"
He said in a voice deep and basso.
"I'm a genius well known,
No faults to be shown
As long as I sign it Picasso"
