WIP Partially painted portrait of Nicola Nugent (Nix) for my Non-Binary Health Series. Thank you very kindly to Nix for this fab collaboration. Here is one of Nix's poems to go with their portrait
Wintertime
Parody from Porgee and Bess
Winter time
And the livin' is shitty
Companies dumpin'
Hungry babies cry
0h the 1 % rich
Don't worry about food for cookin'
Hush little baby don't you cry
Hope a new day is dawnnin'
Open your eyes it's just mingin'
We'll stop standing these things
And we'll march and we'll strike
But til that forewarning
There' w be T-V to calm you
With Netflix and Bezos standing
by
Wintertime
Covid's makin' me queasy
Gas & oil aint pumpin
Strugglin' to get by
Disabled dead in a ditch
Stocks & Shares still procuring
Now hush little homeless
Get ready to die
