My Dalí dear That mad surrealist He made me beautiful Forever beautiful My eyes like gems Notice, please, each tiny lash Would you believe He painted with his own mustache? Raoul Dufy A brilliant colorist He made me beautiful Forever beautiful A few deft strokes Poppy red, then iris blue In my small way I do know something of this, too Made women glorious Made women glamorous Used all my art to halt the march of time I slowed it down a bit There is no stopping it But in a painting It is always your prime Tamar' de Lempicka She was bisexual You see her love for me? Well, it's subtextual My lifelong fight Is to keep my figure trim But now I eat 'Cause Giacometti keeps me slim Pink Is that my only claim to fame? Pink My shot at permanent acclaim? Pink My legend branded with a rose Immortalized in posy pink On Mamie Eisenhower's lips Pink On Mrs. Astor's roots and tips Pink The boxes packaged in a bow That cost more than the lotion Pink That flash of ardor in a man's embrace My would-be baby with a rosy face And rabbits from the test Who perished for a nursery Converted to a guest room Dressed in pink With an enormous princess bed Pink The cherubs painted overhead in pink Coral pink Just pink Which impressionist is her favorite? Which french perfume does she prefer? Could we possibly ever bridge the distance? Fight united for once in coexistence? Far too often, and to mend our fences? Too competitive to ever win the race We cling to our instinctive grudges Like two horses in an endless steeplechase Or wipe away the mask of makeup Just to talk Not to spar Man to man Queen to queen On a par In our fall from grace As we all start to stare Standing face to face
