I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

Have you heard about the painter Vincent Van Gogh,
Who loved color and who let it show.
Now in the museum what have we here?
The baddest painter since God's Jan Vermeer.
He loved he loved he loved life so bad,
His paintings had twice the color other paintings had.


Anyway, I thnk it's time to take your mind off stuff
and enjoy a deep fried Moon Pie:
