If Joel-Peter Witkin Was a Nursery Rhyme

History of the White World: Arabia

Joel-Peter Witkin
Was standing on a curb
A girlie's head bounced up to him
Her fault he is a perv

Joel-Peter Witkin
Likes to stage tableaux
Scratchy prints of body parts
Dwarves and scenes by Giotto

Joel-Peter Witkin
Went peeping down a lane
And bought a horse to crucify
Convinced he is humane

Joel-Peter Witkin
Has a lot to say
Hermaphrodites and Jesus
The studio of Courbet

Joel-Peter Witkin
Is he just a naughty boy
Who likes a dirty picture
And has a camera for a toy?
