Paint and Painters
The fun, details, and hard work of painting a house - a rhyming poem.
Rated:
E
by
This item requires reviews with ratings.
Those trusty tools, the paint job layers,
The brushes, rollers, and auto-sprayers
Can handle the usual painting jobs,
Just simply avoid the gooey globs!

Paint’s all over your workman’s clothes,
One of those things a painter loathes,
But everyone will look to get it right,
A brand new color that’s out of sight!

Whenever painting a fence or house,
Applying a coat with your kids or spouse,
Enjoy the event, for the progress you’re making
Is less costly to you, though quite back-breaking!

To do the task requires tarp and taping,
Choosing the color and lots of scraping.
It’s difficult work that you don’t often do,
But repetition will see you through!

It’s great satisfaction, completing the task,
Getting it done, now all that you ask,
Is to leave it alone and let it dry,
And do the clean-up, with a hearty sigh!
