Here are some of the pieces that I have written.
Mural on the Wall
All shades of reds, greens, and blues,
So many crayons! Which ones should I choose?
There's not much time to finish this painting,
But when I am finished Mom and Dad will be fainting.
I pick up a crayon and give it a wiggle,
I start drawing something that makes me giggle.
It has a big nose, and a size 13 shoe,
8 fingers it has, and 15 eyeballs too!
But what amazes me most is the height, he's tall!
I hope all his legs will fit on this wall!
I gave it a little scribble, just to play the color game,
And then I decide that my friend needs a name.
Should it be Bob? Or should it be Fred?
Should it be Charles? Or should it be Ned?
So many choices, and I'm sure that I fear,
The end of my masterpiece is coming quite near.
Mom and Dad come up the hall,
Just wait until they see what I did on the wall!
"OOOH LAAAA LAAAA," they'll respond in surprise,
"That painting my dear is quite nice.
Here they come! What will they say?
Sadly it was, "Go to your room and stay there all day!"
"And when you come out, you'll clean up this mess!"
"I'm sorry I did it," I quietly confess.
Although I got caught, it sure was a blast,
I had a great time, it won't be the last.
