Paint The Canvass Of Your Days



Paint the canvass of your days
with lusty shades of ploy.
Stroke boldly outside the lines with a creative joy.
Paint the canvass of your days
with balmy autumn sun.
Stroke gently outside the lines with a coating of fun.
Paint the canvass of your days
with chatty water fall.
Stroke freely outside the lines with an artistic scrawl.
Paint the canvass of your days
with lazy leisure ease.
Stroke plainly outside the lines with a shrewd expertise.
Paint the canvass of your days
with jaunty be-bop dance.
Stroke clearly outside the lines with a brushing romance.
Paint the canvass of your days
with fancy tales of yore.
Stroke largely outside the lines with an inspired encore.
