The former model Dora Lyse
Who posed for Picasso in many a guise;
Has left her Husband after a terrible fight,
And went to 'La Police' the following night;
To reveal to the Inspector her 3 Black eyes.

This is poetic humor loved it a fave
As always: Thank you.
You are welcome
There’s a wry, noir‑tinged humour in this little portrait: the glamour of a name like Dora Lyse brushing up against the tabloid grit of domestic upheaval. In a handful of lines we glimpse an entire arc: the art‑world muse, the fractured marriage, the switch from painter’s spotlight to police station glare. Those “3 black eyes” land as both visual gag and grim punchline; inviting us to linger on whether they’re literal bruises, a sardonic embellishment, or a symbol of how appearances and stories get reframed in the retelling. It reads like a snapshot from a larger, half‑scandalous scrapbook, the kind that leaves you wondering about everything just outside the frame.
I was a little hesitant about publishing this as I didn't want people to think I was making fun about something serious like Domestic Violence. It's more of a view on the Art of Picasso. Thank you for your Comment.
