Sidewalk Chalk

A picture drawn with sidewalk chalk Will always make me smile And even in this modern age, It won't go out of style. When I was young, our pottsy games Were proudly done in chalk And passers-by, when glancing down, Would not upon them walk. My children decorated rocks And our un-trafficked street, Especially on holidays, Which made the day complete. There's an artist in the city, De la Vega is his name, Who in secret leaves his chalk impressions, Earning him some fame. But no matter who the chalker, There is one thing that is clear, When a downpour comes to visit, All that art will disappear.
