To the Persistence of His Memory

deckardcanineMany people remember Dali
For The Persistence of Memory
And little else. It seems ironic;
His other work's deemed less iconic.
What a shame; it's all terrific,
Coming from a man prolific.
He could paint whatever he dreamed
With artistic skills to be esteemed,
Usually weird and sometimes gross
But never dreadfully morose.
"Take me; I am the drug; take me;
I am hallucinogenic," said he.
About as arrogant as bizarre,
He earned that arrogance as a star.
He may have been something of a jerk,
But I'm glad he lives on through his work.
