Magritte's Nanny Poem by Matthew Buchwald

Don't let that bird
Roost on your face

Yelled Magritte's nanny

But he
Liked the way
It looked

So he put an apple
on his nose

He also had a pet lion
And a tuba that burst into flames

At a family reunion
All the Magrittes wore derbies
They kept on their overcoats
And flew up in the air

Sometimes he'd put his hat on upside down
Or he'd leave it in a painting, without his head

He could wear his head
Without a hat
