The Godfather Of CarPeo (#4 In A Series Of 4)

____________________________________________________________________________________


  The humor of Mrs. Carpeo
  Is always to be trusted
  Regarding Godfather
  She whispered
"This smoker got busted
  And tell you this, I gotta:
  The piece is terra cotta."




Jean Baptiste Carpeaux
The Smoker
(1863) 


 Our Godfather's name
 rhymes with Harpo
 but our name
 is pronounced
 Car-P-O

    As true of all media, a misquote

      Mr. CarPeo stands corrected: Mrs. C did not
      actually rhyme "gotta" with "terra cotta"
      but sometimes a dreamscape
      imitates art.
