Finger Painting on a Rainy Day
Streaks of paint on rosy cheeks
Don't forget that something reeks
Eyes that twinkle with delight
But you're painting in the night...
Your palate has one color only
Don't dismay, it's never lonely
You've made a room and tiny bed
So much to do with the color red
Outside, there brews a storm
But sticky paint keeps you warm
If you run out, there's always more
From the body on the floor
The canvas has a cheery glow
Let the velvet blood red paint flow
Sticky paint stains your fingers
Don't try to wash-it always lingers
Don't forget to clean up after
Or mom won't let you paint hereafter
Finger painting is such fun
After all your work is done
Clean your brushes, mop the floor
Then the body, you must store
Preserve the paint in silver foil
Wrap it tight so it won't spoil
I'll hang my painting in my room
A reminder of impending doom
We've had such fun with paint today
Let's hope the rain is here to stay
