The Wrong Advice

 

“It looks nothing like him!

You got the ears wrong,

the eyes,

and are these supposed to be lips?

Well either way they’re wrong,

you never were any good

at getting features

to turn out right.

My advice,

give up now.

You’ve not got the talent,

the eye to see things best.

Drop the charcoal,

drop to oils,

stick to words,

use them to paint.”
