Claude Monet
 
 
The man, when old, was very fond
of water lilies on a pond.
 
He often painted this fine view
and kept his variations few.
 
At times, he chose to add a bridge,
but never any personage.
 
Some critics who go after facts
maintain he then had cataracts.
 
Most other lookers do not care
what led to art beyond compare.
