Wally Weasel Loves To Paint

Wally Weasel Loves to Paint Wally Weasel loves to paint, and paints himself a lot. Some paint goes on the canvas, but most of it does not. Poor Wally, when he’s finished, is a sight that you must see. He’s a living breathing rainbow from his head down to his knee. Wally gets excited when he takes his brush in hand. If you’re smart, you’ll go across the room and there is where you’ll stand. His brush goes this way, then goes that way, nothing can escape The splatters. If you stand nearby, you’ll need a plastic cape. There are eighty-seven pictures, every one is of himself, There’s a special place he puts them all upon a special shelf. He likes the color orange, and must buy it by the ton. His house looks like a tangerine in every room but one. And in that room you’ll never guess what color’s to be seen. His tiny little studio is painted bright lime green! His painting smock’s magenta and has polka dots of red. Also, there’s a blue beret upon his little head. Now let us go, let Wally paint. His work has just begun. Maybe he will show it to us when the picture’s done.

Thank you so much. What a welcoming message! I'm so happy to be here. I write mostly for children. I have several Wally stories that I haven't posted, and some other critters, too. LOL. I welcome any constructive criticism. I will be happy to look at your work, too. Let's keep in touch. 8-)

This is such a lovely and fun poem. Great rhythm and verse. I love alliteration and you play the whole thing very well. This would make a great childrens book as well, partnered with the right artist. <3 this!
