/// Rembrandt painted this hard-working Scholar
at his desk in a stiffly starched collar.
Here he’s writing a note
about what Plato wrote.
Although brilliant, he still lives in squalor.

He’s sick your jokes ‘bout his ruff./
He’s had quite enough of your guff./
And, while we’re about it/
(You better not doubt it:)/
He refuses to pose in the buff.

He’s spending a quiet hour/
Aloft in his ivory tower/
with Boccaccio’s Decameron/
and when he’s done “hammerin’ “/
he’s going to need a shower.

His pen he has already dipped/
But he cannot decipher the script !/
It’s his favorite topic/
But he’s too presbyopic/
He has to admit that he’s whipped..
