Up stairs, and stairs, and other stairs, With groans you climb still higher, And reach at last the Portrait Class, The acme of desire. A strange array of painted things Now greets your mundane vision, The easels hide the model’s pose, But “Jimmy’s” a safe decision. See what a quiet class it is. Oh yes! the “Professor’s” just left. Some values are high and some spirits low, And some are of smiles bereft. Now Heinie will tell the latest Keith jokes And Rittmann of soldiers and drills, The talk contains prize fights, murders and snakes, And gives you all kinds of thrills. Frazier is twined ’round an easel or post, Perhaps viewing his work with a frown? Mirs. S—— will carol the “Tit Willow” song With a spirit you never could down. Mr. Black paints imperturbably on. That mysterious mediums use Has made him a master without any doubt, We'll pay gold for that very same juice. You’ve seen enough of the Portrait Class; I’m sure it has been a treat. There are palettes to clean and brushes to wash. Who’s put on the water to heat? Hope Gladding.
