Sense Sonnet -Pumper

 Picasso's Napkin Sketch


Pablo Picasso once was asked

By a lady admirer to,

On a paper napkin, be tasked

With a very quick sketch to do.

Picasso nicely agreed, then

Quickly drew, the lady said thanks,

But was certainly surprised when

He asked her for a million francs.

"Five minutes was all that you took,"

"Seems like too high a price to me,"

The lady said with a grim look.

Picasso replied politely,


"No, this five minute drawing now,"

"Took forty years to practice how."
