Oscar Wilde once said:
"Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."
this poem I wrote was inspired by a painting that gives some truth to that very quote.
there sits the Uppsala girl in silence
she barely moves her red lips
Uppsala girls see things not like you and i
girls from Uppsala sometimes are mute and shy
up, up, up with the Uppsala girl
down, down, down is her frown
up, up, up with the Uppsala girl
down, down, down is her frown
Stare into her eyes
you'll wonder what is on her mind
girls from Uppsala have heavy hooded dark eyes
you can understand why
when you see an Uppsala girl
approach her while you can
girls from Uppsala sometimes are mute and shy
up, up, up with the Uppsala girl
down, down, down is her frown
up, up, up with the Uppsala girl
down, down, down is her frown
She is silent
she doesn't speak
