When falling in love with a dame
the portrait and girl ain't the same
Two dreams of a wife
One's art, one is life
but one can't be kept in a frame
Gene Tierney and Dana Andrew in Laura (Otto Preminger, 1944). You'll find our earlier limerick on Laura, here. And a brief passage on the Portrait in Noir can be found at filmsnoir.net, here.

This happens when you're in the picture;
The locus of psychotic fixture
Are you paint? Are you flesh?
In his mind, both will mesh
The sum is a dangerous mixture!
Welcome back, Backthrow!
You would be surprised at how many men try to keep their "Lauras" in a frame!
I agree with anonymous.
I disagree. Being a long time noir buff,I wouldn't be surprised.
