The death mask of James Ensor
Is paying a call on the death mask
Of Joseph Mallard William Turner
Turner is bored and is trying to grit
His last four teeth as Ensor
Recites the plot of The Scale of Love,
A ballet-pantomime he wrote. It's just one act
But has enough plot for seven and two interludes.
Thank heavens the death mask of John Keats
Is using Turner's only guest room! Ensor
Will have to sleep elsewhere.
