Mystery Painter
A painter sits at work
he paints a bird
but it flies away
A crocodile he draws
it rises up to swallow him
A pretty girl he carves out
indecently she assaults him
A lake he paints on a wall
but it plots to drown him
A soldier he sketches on canvas
it takes a sword to cut him
He bangs tins pours paint
and breaks the brushes in anger!
All he created with paint and brush
emerge from nowhere,
arrest and detain him for life
What a mystery painter
in a mystery world!
