Praise Poem Elizabeth Murray

 










Elizabeth Murray she deserves more of these degrees she needs

One for every color on her palette which she spins like a plate-

Spinner a palettespinner! Colors spill all over her canvases yeah

Sure and hey hey hey the canvases are created by the colors splashing

Spilling they collect into the shapes follow these words like her paintings

Follow those shapes and give Elizabeth Murray a big round of more

Honorary degrees and high honors her paintings are music too opera

She listens to opera a lot of opera I have to drown it out to write you can

See Donizetti Gluck Mozart Charpentier Bellini opera all over her

Paintings to escape let's dive into an Elizabeth Murray painting c'mon

C'mon! Dive in a cup! You dive first. Ok. I'll jump first dive head

First into swirl whirlpool I dive you paddle with one of those spoons

She does and we'll not escape (Chorus: no we'll not escape) we'll not escape

(Chorus: no We'll never escape) till Elizabeth Murray gets more of these

Award-things or we drown first, in art, in an Elizabeth Murray painting,

Whichever comes first or maybe the oral tradition will make a comeback

Thanks to poems like this and also the poetry club I'm trying to start on

The Bowery and looking for investors to Buy Real Estate for Art New Model

If interested see me after poem meanwhile we're all dippin in the cup kickin in

The cups (meanwhile meanwhile kickin in the cups) (call and response) we give

Praise! Oh yes praise hey ho I do love this griot job composing praise poems

Is as easy as saying Elizabeth Murray totally great artist Dr. Elizabeth Rose

Murray we are drowning in your Art and handing over prizes doctorates

Fellowships awards for what you give us is Incalculable and all we do

In return is praise praise praise which humbly means thank you to you
