Much maligned, Vultures are 

far more valuable than the

Magpie 157-A Cute Puncture

Venus de Milo with Drawers, 1936, Salvador Dali

There once was a gal named Venus

Whose doctor was from Salinas 

Her arthritis drove her wild

Prickly sea urchins were applied

 "Thank god the pain is gone-you genius!"

Magpie #135- Venus and the Sailor

Venus and The Sailor, 1925, by Salvador Dali

Gliding across the ice

and being oh so nice

Venus hissed in his ear

Dahling, you belong on the equator

 You're just not a skater

So far you've tripped me up twice
