What made Edvard Munch scream?

A short verse in the style of EC Bentley to greet the news that Edvard Munch’s famous painting The Scream is due to be auctioned at New York, with an expected price tag of £50million.

The Norwegian Munch

Demanded peaches for lunch

And if they came without cream

He tended to scream
