Magpie Tales #224 The Surreal Rene Magritte

Not To Be Reproduced  ~ 1937


There once was a artist Magritte
His fabulous art was a treat
With a pipe in his hand
He said "Aint' life grand"
Being Son of Man can't be beat!


Son of Man ~ 1964

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
