The paint drips and glistens
The horse hairs bristen
The clouds are soaring the sky
The trees do blow
Somewhere down below
And there seems to be
A smell of peonies
The light bulb makes flickers
The brushes bicker
Over who should be next in line
The kites do fly
Way up in the sky
And I seem to recall
A puffed-up cardinal
The easel stretches
The canvas yawns
The deer dance across the field
The figures do stare
Into wilderness fair
And the name appears
Of a tired artist here
