Some Artists

Some artists draw
Some artists paint
I break the law
I’m not a saint

Do you draw
Or do you paint
Break the law
Are you a saint

I draw and carve
I also paint
I never starve
Have no complaint

Some artists write
Some artists sing
It is so bright
The joy they bring

Yes I can write
And I can sing
I also bite
And that can sting

Do you write
Or do you sing
Can you bite
And make it sting

I say its time
I’ve got to fly
With this last line
“I say good-bye”
