Venus Paradise

On rainy days when I was young And things could not get duller, I’d take my Venus Paradise And I’d begin to color. The pictures all had numbered spots You’d fill in one by one And when the scenes were colored in, Your masterpiece was done. The pencils came in varied hues To match the sketched-out action. A finished drawing gave to me Tremendous satisfaction. If you are of a certain age, You’ll know of what I speak, For Venus Paradise today Is likely an antique!
