No one ever accused me of having any talent
When it comes to drawing, I’m a joke
You can stare all day at what I’ve painted
And never decipher a single stroke

I tried to draw today, in the spirit of liberty
I wanted to draw a firecracker or maybe a roman candle
But to me it looked like a butter churn
laying on it's side with a vibrating handle

You are so funny! *shaking my head* here--

my dear, wonderful friend, I'll just bet that if you add a little sparkle to the wick, and give it the appearance of being "on fire it would not only look great graphically, but better express the personality of the author!

This was written today after I left work. I had to mark myself off until Monday as I'm taking Friday off. So I wrote "Back Mon. 7/8" then I tried to draw a firecracker. I was giggling over it and the receptionist wanted to know what was so funny. I told her I'd been trying to draw a firecracker but it only looked like a butter churn laying on it's side with a vibrating handle....

that phrase stuck and as a challenge to myself, I thought I'd try to use it in a poem!!

A funny poem.... smile.... and isn't it that for most modern art...you first have to read the describtion to know what it is?  I think you have a "modern" talent!  Smile...
