In the Twenties horse race tracks
Brought in
crowds along the flats;
‘Big Apple’
prizes named New York
Skyscraper
way of life soon fraught…
Now Brussels
has an Apple too
In Place Royale
– of verdant hue!
It
indicates, as you should know,
Magritte’s
museum down below.
Another surrealistic
touch
To Brussels
buzz we love so much!
This
painter’s codes perplex, amuse:
Bowler
hats, weird lighting views.
Daily
objects juxtaposed
Horses,
veils and goodness knows!
Graphic
artist, smart, effete
Artwork finely
drawn – unique!
Most famous
is that cloudlike bird!
His combinations are absurd
And yet
they make us pause awhile…
Say what
you will, the man had style!
