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
