Painting
I’ve got my paintbox out today
To paint a lovely picture.
I’ll dab a brown dot here,
And a black dot there,
A big blob of orange:
That can be someone’s hair.
With a sky of blue,
And a sea of green
It’s going to be the best picture
That anyone’s ever seen.
A splurge of purple
Over there, I think,
Then a large splodge of red
And yellow and pink …
That’s it – if I reach up tall
I can paint every colour
I can think of
on Dad’s boring white old wall!
