I am 17, and I love to paint.
They’re coming in!
Ooh! Oh! Ooh.
Go, go, go! Don’t mind if I do.
Some painters only paint portraits,
Majestic and serene.
Ah-h-h,
I can also paint portraits but I paint 17
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17…
Hee-hee!
Look at me.
Ooh! Oof!
ALL: Look at me.
Hmm, nice juxtaposition.
Some painters like to paint bluebirds,
In a lovely nature scene.
Why paint only a few birds,
When I paint 17?
10 and 7
17!
BIRDS CHIRP
Whoa! Hey! Oh.
Ooh, nice juxtaposition.
Some painters paint flowers,
They look so sublime.
I paint for hours,
17 of everything takes time…
What?
Nice juxtaposition.
Hmm.
Some painters like to paint apples
In brilliant shades of green.
I can also paint apples
But I paint 17!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17!
Hey, no!
Get off, silly apples!
Nice juxtaposition.
Some painters like to paint soup cans,
I like a whole tureen.
So I paint plenty of soup cans,
I paint 17!
10 and 7
17!
I like soup!
Hmm.
Nice juxtaposition.
Oh!
Some painters paint splatters,
Some painters paint dots,
My number’s what matters,
17 is lots and lots of spots!
Ha-ha-ha.
Whoa! Oh!
BOTH: Ooh, nice juxtaposition.
Grr!
Argh!
Hold that pose!
Some painters like to paint faces
That look like they might scream!
I can also paint faces
But I paint 17!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10,
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17!
I scream, you scream,
We all scream for ice cream!
Argh!
Yummy!
Wait. I know what this gallery needs.
Your art!
Let your imagination play,
Paint what you want,
Go your own way,
A piece of paper’s purpose.
Is to be a picture one day!
You could be an artist,
The best there’s ever been.
But why paint only 1 of things,
When you could paint 17?
Hee-hee!
