Where My Muse Resides

My muse resides in a museum,
trapped in a painting, as a nude.
The one next to the Colosseum,
yeah, that one. She is shown pursued
by young Apollo, horny bastard.
A Rubens, but before he mastered
some of his skills. At any rate,
they say she's somewhat overweight.
It was a time before Ozempic,
and muses seeking to indulge
would lose the battle of the bulge,
but that's a battle he let them pick.
Who? Rubens. Captor of my muse.
A lady who refused to lose.
