I’ve been busy…………….

Did you do a painting?
No, but
I did a lot of other things Almost too many to say
I talked and laughed and thought and played
I’ve had a lovely busy day.

Did you do a painting?
No but……
I climbed up and down the trestle
And held on tight at the top
I talked on the phone and told my friend
What I wanted at her shop.

Did you do a painting?
No but……..
I used five boxes to make a house
We took a teddy in, too.
I sat on a mat with my legs
Tucked up
And listened to “Wombat Stew”.

Did you do a painting?
No but
I watered all the growing plants
Then I saw you at the gate
I might do a painting tomorrow
Or perhaps you’ll have to wait.
