Leonardo's Lament ... or.... Life in the 'stute

I told them I could paint real fine.
They did not believe me.
They said those paintings weren't mine!
They were trying to deceive me!

I'm Leonardo, yes I am!
I told them with a grin.
And showed my painting to them,
and then they let me in.

It was the Mona Lisa
I painted it, I said.
But they did not believe me
as they strapped me to the bed.

They shipped me off to Richmond
so they could do some tests--
examined all my functions
to figure out this mess.
They stuck me with some needles--
took blood from inside out.
They asked me stupid questions
to learn what I'm about.

They took away my necktie.
They took away my belt.
They gave me a white bracelet
that was made out of felt.
They watched me sleep and watched me eat
and sat me in a chair
and when I mentioned Lisa,
they quick shaved off my hair.

They put a hat upon my head
that looked like leaning Pisa.
And so I asked them one more time
if they liked my Mona Lisa.

I went to the cafeteria,
ate meat loaf and some cake.
I was eating very calmly --
not to make mistakes.
I sat there dipping gravy,
about to take a bite
when soon a tray flew by me!
I saw an awful fight!

Meatloaf started flying
and spinach through the air!
But I just sat there eating.
I really didn't care.
They punched each other in the nose
and threw some spoons and pie.
I ducked and took another bite
and watched the plates fly by.
I finished my first helping,
chairs, tables hit the floor.
Then rose to go get seconds
because I wanted more.

They gave me a pink bracelet
for outside in the sun.
I sat in lovely gardens
alone with everyone.
They gave me a big pill to take
and then a glass of juice.
The sun shone on the daisies.
I was feeling mighty loose.
I looked for Mona Lisa
but she was not around.
I started watching spiders
crawling on the ground.

My name is Leonardo!
I yelled until they heard.
I don't belong in Richmond!
This whole thing is absurd!

They said I would be transferred
to Saint Sophia's 'stute.
I asked if Mona could come too.
They said I was a fruit.

Life inside the institute
was pretty strange, but cool.
I'm hoping Saint Sophia's
will have a swimming pool.

-Leonardo DiVinci

Now Justin Kace
You doubt his rhyme
I know that face
He's Justin Thyme

Who is this guy?
He looks like me!
Comes to my 'stute
Pretends to be

The great DaVinci
Sans Hirsute...
No one but me
Will give a hoot.

It's plain to see
That he's my twin.
Reluctlantly
They let him in.

To gain entry
He had to say
He would bring me
My dinner tray.

Meat loaf he caught
As it flew by
With that he got
Sauce from his eye.

And then to my
Bedside he came
It's dinner, Thyme
Justin's the name.

He says that he
Can paint a smile
Entrancingly
With just beguile.

It is a myth
He's just a fool
He's happy with
A swimming pool

Here at my 'stute
He'll stay as me
I've much to do
Now that I'm free

And they will think
That he is me
I've made "The Last
Judgment" you see.

To Sistene Chapel,
I must go
Because - I'm
Michelangelo!!!

OH, c'mon ONE FLEW.... don't jive these people! You know why this struck your funny chord, little buddy... you were the one with the damn flying pizza!

And you know where Lisa is, too! You took that straw and used some ketchup and mustard and started painting her a new smile.... you little... you little.... schizo!

Now, from now on, keep it honest around here, huh?

Hey Justin, my long lost twin! Paint on, brotha!! Love the lyric melody but of course you knew I would..... we be the best damn lyricists in that ol' 'stute!

Listen, though, better be careful 'cause I heard nurse ratchet is hanging around these forums posting under some pseudonym and if she puts two and two together and comes up with four, your ass is grass, my friend! ONE FLEW said she was on to us sneakin' over into the administrative offices to use their 'puter. So, keep it easy and light.... watch your back! Oh, and next time you get on, send me the URL so I can see that really cool mural you put up in that church.Those dummies never believed we could paint! LOL! You've got one mean brush stroke, my twin!

Do you BELIEVE that ONE FLEW meatloaf slinging dude pretending he didn't know nothin' about all this? How do you think he got his name? One meatloaf flew, one fork flew, one table flew.... geez.

But have either of you seen my ear?
And though I really like your rhyme,
Both justin Kase and Justin Thyme.

For I'm the great Vincent VanGogh.

Belonged to Vince
'Twas in my pie
And not quite minced?

My brother dear
Brought it to me
Caught on the fly
I plainly see

How do you hear

I hear just fine Justin Kase,
One ear works just as good as two.
So wipe the smirk off your face.
I have something to share with you.

I know you should be basket weaving,
So I will make this brief, you know.
Cause no one here's really believing
That you are Michelangelo!!!

Now I don't mean to drop the dime
On that brother you hold so dear
But Justin thyme made it just in time,
To save from you my lovely ear.

He switched it with Mona Lisa' big toe,
Said he owed at least this much to you.
I found it oddly strange, even so,
You found it so easy to chew.

So I say now go paint your chapel
I will give you no more slack.
They may have given me the scalpel,
But at least I got my ear back.

you all should be relocked in the 'stute. you need all the help you can get.


though I'm quite sure that it's true
it's just a little too late for you
for your ears are red and green
and the nurse is really mean
and soon the peas will start to turn
as the pages start to burn
and poor lil' mona will cease to be
because your petty ass is free...

hehe


p.s. I'll burn her....

Oh, what a job the young boy had!
It wasn't very hard
But was a job disdained by all
In that hospital ward.

When they prepped someone for surgery
Before they made a cut
The young boy's job it was to pick
All small hairs from the butt.

It was a necessary task,
Infection to avoid,
But not too glamorous to pick
Those small hairs from that void.

Years later, he discovered that
His talent was quite rare
At taking paints and canvas
Making masterpieces there.

He decided to use a ficticious name
As seemed to be the craze
So he fashioned one from that silly job
Of his old hospital days.

One thing I haven't understood
Although I'm not so dumb,
I must confess I do not know
Where the "Pablo" came from.

Ok, I was following all of this until this balladeer dude comes in and writes some verse I didn't understand. What's all this have to do with hairs on someone's butt? I don't get it. Prepping someone for surgery? A fictitious name because that's some kind of "craze"? LOL... sounds CRAZY to me.... hehehe. Ok, so we got a few nuts around here, but what's this dude balladeer sneezing about?

Oh, and as far as Pablo is concerned.... damn... he's over there... there he is now.. he's in the 'stute here alright, with the rest of us. Want me to ask him to post something? LOL.

Hey, balladeer, little buddy.... you sure you don't belong in here with us?

Ok, gotta jet.... nurse ratchet's a cratchet and she's out to get me yet... see some of you in the cafeteria in the morning. 2 eggs scrambled like your brain..... hold the fruit.

You're alive, Lisa, I knew you was,
Wasn't sure at first just because
Justin Thyme ate your big toe,
And you were burned by Desperado!
But that's o.k, for all the while,
We know now why you only half smile.
Gotta run now, gotta go,
I've got some questions for Pablo!

Pablo, Pablo, there you are,
I have been seaching long and far.
For once I had this surgery,
And guess what, 'twas you who prepped me
Now, it's no secret all can see
The scar from the lobotomy.
But even though I've half a brain,
At least what half I have is sane.
This being so, questions lie there,
Why did you remove my butt hair?
I always knew you were schizo,
But do you really think your PicASSo?

Hey, Balladeer! What's that you say?
I think you are a NUT!
That isn't true! My last name's real.
It's not a nickname for my butt!

Next time I paint a painting here
inside this institute.
I think I'll paint a painting of
you in your birthday suit!

You seem to be hung up on butts
I think that's sort of strange.
My painting will depict your head
and butt, swapped, interchanged.

Don't mess with me, dear Balladeer!
I'm artiste, yes, first class!
Because you've started rumors here,
your face will be your ***.

sincerely yours,
Pablo

Someone here is mistaken
for I have done no faking.
My honesty rings as true
as dry grass meets fallen dew.
You think I changed a smile
with the ketchup from a pile.
Way wrong there my friend
I'll deny this till the end.
I will admit salting days
as I attacked feather lei's.
Nothing else will you have

Just a little pen-prick
This won't hurt a bit
Justin Kace you are sick
How's that jacket fit?
Made from " fine corinthian leather "
Stitched by Ricardo Montalban
When you're feeling under the weather
We'll let you try it on
The buckles of patina , green
Hand made by Juan Valdez
When he's not picking coffee beans
A least that's what he says
The leather staps so sturdy
Hold you in their embrace
For when you get too wordy
Justin Thyme or Justin Kace
Though the canvas isn't painted
It was woven by Van Gogh
If this assertion you think tainted
Ask him , he'll say so
And those baskets that you're weaving
Are the cause of Lisa's smile
But I'm afraid I must be leaving
To make my rounds takes quite a while

Well it's come to my attention
There's something strange going on here.
Yeah, everything was going smoothe,
And then comes along Balladeer.

Speading viscious rumors,
About poor 'ol pablo.
Now pablo's peeved and we're all grieved,
'Cept Michelangelo.

He's too busy painting the chapel,
Bet he doesn't even know
Lisa's back with Leonardo,
Albeit without her toe.

There was even a drive by
By good ol' Desperado.
And I even got my ear back,
I, the great Vincent VanGogh.

Now what I find so strange here,
'Tis a fact we all well know.
Only the truly great artist
Have names that end in O.

So what is he trying to pull,
This sneaky Balladeer?
Me thinks it to be mutiny,
The moose is in on it, I fear.

I saw him taking rounds with Ratchet.
A repulsive thought, I can't refute.
Yeah, it's plain to me, he longs to be
Balladeer, King of the stute.

You just make colors splatter.

About how you got your name
But what's the diff? Nobody cares

Hey! Balladeer! You listen up!
Insult me. Go ahead!
Haha, your words roll off my back!
They make me laugh, instead.
No, I'm not laughing at your wit,
I'm laughing at your ass
'cause here comes big bad Nurse Cratchet,
who tolerates no sass.

She's wielding a big needle for your
big bold blatant butt!
She'll get you soon, my loco friend
because you are a NUT!
You are no king, you are no prince,
no painter like the rest.
In fact, dear sir, you soon will wince...
and Cratchet's stab's the test.

You see, she'll look for Balladeer
in Michelangelo's van
and when the jump start's getting near,
She'll shout out, "There's my man!"

She'll see you bend beneath the hood--
aim her needle toward your head,
because your butt's been swapped for you,
it's now your head, instead!
You see, although you think I paint
with splash of paint, by feel--
I really paint reality,
yep, what I paint's soon real!

So when I tell you that your crown
has fallen off your head...
Just look behind you, then look down,
it's on your butt, instead!
Haha, you thought your comments 'bout
my last name were real cute!
Haha, watch out, my witty friend,
this is an ARTIST's 'stute.

sincerely,

It wasn't hard to find you guys , though Jimi and Walt tried to spoof me .
They sent me to Pluto by dragonfly , I took the bus to Goofy .
And here we are a lovely bunch , bananas everywhere .
I walked to school and brought my lunch ,so Hey!, don't touch me there !
Wow ! that Ratchet's hands are cold ,I like the color blue .
All is going according to plan , there's so much here to do !
I can alphabetize and prioritize , to my hearts content .
Which might be why I'm "tutionalized ', who signed that darn consent ?
Hmmm...I find this by it's nature queer ,
though I've got rounds to do .
Even the poems are schizoid here ,
I must try to think this through .

I did not eat that Toe last night
Nor chewed on VanGogh's ear
Instead I called on Balladeer
And told him of my plight

I said this dinner's really bad
I wouldn't eat it so -
Tough Toenails Michelangelo
You're really all quite mad...

While Doctor Moose was doing rounds
Deer got there Justin Thyme
To save the day for Justin Kace
As amputees abound...

While in this 'stute don't ever nag -
Just look at Pablo's butt
This Toe will rot - For off it's cut
Let's wrap it in a rag...

We got the rag - the Toe inside
So Vince would never know -
But please don't fret - I know that Toe
Rag's
in formaldehyde....

I really must confess , I'm not in on this with Ratchet .
Just 'cause I do " knee jerk tests " , with my rubber hatchet .
I only took this job here , at the Institute,
to deal with some personal fears , that I have of " mixed fruit " !
Those and missing body parts , and paintings on the ceiling .
As a student of the arts , I find these most revealing .
Why... as I remarked to Dorothy , just the other day,
We're not in Kansas anymore you see ,
( which blew her right away ).
Justin Kace you see me , while my rounds I make .
Think it not conspiracy , with Ratchet that old fake .
She'll be causing me no trouble , I know this for a fact .
I can burst her little bubble , now I've wised- up to her act .
I caught her in the west wing , popping pills like they were candy .
Pablo painted everything , so I got proof ,which comes in handy .
But keep this under your paper hat , about old Ratchet's thieving .
We can't let her get wind of that , or the grounds I will be leaving !

I seemed to have caught a breeze
blowing in a mighty nasty sneeze
why Dr. Moose is spreading germs
amongst our famous wacky worms
Nurse Crachet's here to protect
my nieve worms from neglect
I know my worms love me so
and that is why I let them grow
herbal plants on window sills
to chase away their evil chills
so Dr. Moose you best beware
germs you spread may be rare
but I have defenses at hand
that make oreo cookies bland.

Someone found this poem of mine.
Looks like they found it Justin Thyme!
In Number Two, it had got loose!
This poem was running from the MOOSE!
And Just when you had Justine Uff,
somebody found this silly stuff!
They moved it up to O-P-3,
and then said OPEN SESAME!

Stuck in the 'stute and off the street!
We're locked up here, so things repeat!
I wrote this poem a month ago!
Hey, CRATCHET, NURSY, LET ME GO!!!!

Who brought this forth from O.P Two ?
That was a silly thing to do .
I liked it there , I made some friends
Though some drooled a bit , and one wore depends ( Justin Continent )
That 'stute was good , except one part
Which according to Cratchit , was state of the art
They locked me up , a true recluse
An agoraphobic schizoid moose
They shut the hatch and threw the bolt , and gave me 15,000 volts
They said it was for my own good , but they don't fool me , those peckerwoods
No way , uh-uh , nope , not a chance
I know it's 'cause I like to dance
So now that we're here , what say that we do
A sedated Funky - Chicken , or the twice baked Boog-a-loo

Oh no, Oh no, say it ain't so.
I thought that I was free.
I carried on with the 'stute gone,
But what's this I now see?
I ran, I ran, I'm a free man!
I know that this can't be...
Must be a dream, it sure does seem -
The 'stute's in Open3!

You're a trip, old Dr. Moose!
You know my grandpa? Do you?
He's Justin Continent, you know!
I guess he couldn't fool you!

When he was home, before the 'stute,
my grandma, Justine Sidious...
had tried her best to keep him dry,
but said, "No-one should pity us!"

She was the one that locked him up,
she called the white coats in on him.
And when they came to bring him here,
she made some muffins (cinnamin).

"I will not worry 'bout my man,"
she told her Uncle Leon.
"As long as he's no longer here,
I don't CARE what he'll pee on."

And so it went,
and so it goes,
when standing near him,
watch your toes!

I'll kick that moose in the caboose
For leading them to me.
Was it not him, upon a whim
That brought the 'stute to 3?
Lawdy da da - blah blah blah blah,
I will never be free!
White coats are here, again I fear
The 'stute's my destiny.

Bring out the whole gang, and add a few more
This place is much bigger , with a brand new dance floor
Calling all Jusins , c'mon back One Flew
Draw Vince a picture , he might not hear you
C'mon down Michaelangelo, have you seen the new Matisse?
It was painted by the artist "Toe" , with the help of certain geese
We've got a brand new wax museum , thanks to Andrew Scott
We keep it air conditioned , so he doesn't get too hot
We've got Suthern hospitality , and artistes extraodinaire
You can look anytime Watcher666 , just try not to stare
You see now that's the thing , about coming to this place
Though you've stopped just for a visit , they might keep you Justin Kace
You might think I am kidding , that this could not be true
That there is just no possible way , that they can get to you
Well YOU'RE WRONG I'm here to tell ya , that I've seen it done
Once you're written into the story line, you've got no place to run !
I tried to hide in O.P. Two , and you see where it got me
They dragged me kicking and screaming , to Open Poetry Three !
