Got wisdom to pour?
And if it’s a bunch of stick figures in crayon, your kid did it.
It it looks like random paint splatter, it’s a Pollack.
If it looks like a fractured mirror of a two coloured reality, which was then pieced back together in the wrong order, it’s a Picasso. (Picasso does have several styles, this is just one of then)
If they have copper red hair, it’s Titian
Patinka!
I’m sorry, but it’s “piques” his interest.
Except it’s not
Except it is…
Not when the subject is plural. A thing piques, some things pique. And he uses it in the plural. If you are going to be a grammar cop, learn grammar.
When something is Grammatically incorrect, it’s called poetry. The End
