Paul Nash
A Kensington London man
eighteen eighty nine life began.
Shows an early interest in art
his prosperous family played their part.
Sent him to the Slade College
a school to improve his knowledge.
He failed to make the drawing grade
after one year he left dismayed .
A few shows with landscapes shown
not as yet very well known.
Then came the first world war
not for him blood and gore.
The Artist Rifles a London regiment
continuing his artistic development.
Then a commission as a war artist
a war propaganda careerist.
A batman and chauffeur at his command
Ypres and Flanders he'd see first hand.
Incessant rain, men being slain
draw, paint in the devils domain.
