Hum. A blank canvas.
What shall I paint?
The sky? The ocean?
Or something quaint?
And what fair “hues”
Shall I use?
Red and sage—
With touches of blue?
The sky’s the limit,
Whatever I chose.
And don't forget
To blend those hues.
Oh, make the lights bright,
And the darks—dark,
To contrast well
Such chosen art.
