Who painted the sky from above,
His effable nature,
Helped obviate danger,
From a hogshair brush dipped in mauve!
(Editor's Note: this refers to guidance from Scotland's famous Yiddish Poet, Rabbi Burns, to aspiring young artists, knowing their habit of popping a fine paintbrush into their mouths, to draw it to a point for close detailed work: “iffen 'tsmade fi schweine, dinni sookit'n'see!”)
Above: The famous Masonic Portrait, erroneously titled Rabbie Burns.
Benow: The true Ben Hur Synagogue Portrait, correctly titled Rabbi Burns.
