Don’t Let That Horse . . .” from A Coney Island of the Mind.Don’t let that horse eat that violin cried Chagall’s mother But he kept right on paintingAnd became famousAnd kept on painting The Horse With Violin In MouthAnd when he finally finished ithe jumped up upon the horse and rode away waving the violinAnd then with a low bow gave itto the first naked nude he ran acrossAnd there were no strings attached
