But he asked me to draw a rhino,
I coudn't remember what one looked like.
Did it have a big butt and a big head?
There must be a horn on it's nose.
Are they big nostrils and where does the horn go?
I drew the horn and a very cartoony fat body.
He told me to stop and think carefully.
Everyone knows about the horn but what else...
"I don't know" was my reply and he tore the piece of paper.
But it was looking mighty cute with it's huge butt and head.
"That's not it" was his answer back to me.
He said to quit being so detailed to start.
Concentrate on the shapes and draw the body.
He restricted me to draw in a smaller portion of the paper.
"Do not pass these two points," he sternly said.
I proceeded to follow the rules and listened.
He showed me a photo of the rhino and left my side.
I got to work on the rhinocerous masterpiece.
Nervously I worked on the form and not the horn.
Shapes, circles, lines, no horn, no horn, yet.
Alas it begins to make sense and I finally finally get to the horn.
There are two horns! There are weird ears. The eyes small.
Rhinos are funny looking beings aren't they?
Times was up and here is what surprisingly turned out:
And so I had a moment today to revisit my rhino
I gave him color that he didn't have before.
I placed grass for him to eat up and fill his skinny waist.
There is blue sky above the mountain caps.
There is a dream of peaceful rhino alone with this thoughts.
