Stick Figure

First I draw the head
then a line
Next two arms
and some legs
Five fingers on each side
A smile
and eyes
Sometimes I add hair
or a nose
I draw them over 
and over
Each different
Each unique
Some are really awful
and some are okay
Most are bland
but every once in a while
one becomes a masterpiece
