Peter Loves Gloria by Hector Timourian
Poor Peter, trying to impress Gloria
Found himself in a bind
Unable to match her opera and art euphoria
For he was tone deaf and color blind
He fell asleep at inopportune time
For to him Puccini’s opera was boring
She accused him of committing a crime
For distressing her with his rhythmic snoring
Gloria became even more livid
When visiting a museum of art
Although her explanations were quite vivid
He just thought all paintings were dull and tart
When Peter saw images
Of Picasso’s women
He charmed Gloria by whispering
“Seeing your beautiful face
I now understand Cubism space.

I hope this was written after a visit to the De Young Museum's Picasso exhibit this past year.

Very cerebral, while propelling me into outer space or Cubism Space, which ever comes first!!! Hector, you paint a beautiful picture and you know what they say, " A picture is worth a thousand words". Thank you "Bro-Poe"!!! You even inspired me to invent a new word (Bro-Poe). You read it here first; it's short for Brother Poet!!! Of course now we will have to come up with one for the females.

Love your poem, Hector! Such a fun read...'Cubism space' will now bring a smile to my lips!

Peter, maybe you and Gloria just aren't meant to be together. I offer this advice after a long-ago marriage to a man who was utterly bored with art museums, ballet, and any writing deeper than Reader's Digest. {Yes, I really you're not Peter...unless you are...but if you're a poet, then maybe Peter was dating your sister, Gloria.)
