Paintin Place
Rolling, brushing and sand with fury
Does the house look lovely?
Its gone to the jury.
Spilled five gallons on the brand new rug
Scream and holler and grab the dog
Throw him in and his paws a clatter
"Lady your dog," and his prints a spatter
Joe his twin he is a plumber
"Hope she hasn't got our number!"
Goof off,gunk off and clean the carpet
"That lady was keen but not the sharpest."
Paint with beauty and fast the pace
Just paint it , paint it , but have no fear
Does it look fine,"why you gonna live here?''
House of wonder but the yards a moat
"Mam we gave your dog a second coat."
"Base of white with spots a great sensation"
"Look at him now he's a Dalmatian"
"Grab your coats and grab your hats"
"We spilled some more better grab the cat"
PS... these are true stories of events that have occurred for my friend Duke who owns a painting business in Philadelphia that I work and worked for in the past. Some are Urban legends but some I have witnessed... Patrick
