The little one found a can of paint
The lid popped off with no complaint
The adventure ensued
And when it was through
The little one’s parents did faint

The child in you wants to play
Outside for the rest of the day
So, what could it hurt
To dig about in the dirt
Keeps many a worry at bay

Oh dear, my granny was keen
That I should learn to love greens
So, when she began makin’
Them with hot sauce and bacon
It was conversion damascene!

A glance in the mirror did show
That mustache just had to go
She had to be strong
Since it took her so long
To get the darn thing to grow

When you “should” time away
You’ll lose time day by day
Until you see that there is none
And you’ll wonder what you’ve done
You’re guided by what you say
