That Woman's Neckid!

Raphael and cohorts thought that nudes were special beings.

They painted sacred images without their clothes and seeing

The public quickly fell in love with classsically done pieces.

But the kids I teach are NOT that lot, a totally different species.

I took a group of students out to enlarge their inner vision.

I mapped out every stop we'd make and made CLEAR every reason.

We took a trip to the High Museum, Atlanta our destination.

We saw Rodin, Monet, La Trec, masters without cessation.

My heart was swelling with pride and love, but it took so little to wreck it.

One boy aghast, and pointing yelled, "Ya'll look!  That woman's neckid!"

Oh man, I can believe it. Kids, sometimes they like the shock value in just announcing such things.
Again, nicely done.

This is funny and at the same time it makes a good point. Naked is naked, be it a famous painting on a musuem wall or "tastfully" photo in a magazine. Naked is naked. And I would have loved to see the lok on peoples faces when he hollered out...had to be priceless.

Well let me say this, in my day, when I went to the art gallery, as a youngster, if a saw a "Neckid woman" I always said, look at that flamin sheila, she is flamin naked, whhoooeee. And then we always went back to see that painting. For study purposes of course.
