Perfectly Precious Poems

Rainbow I was going to paint a rainbow, but it went all wrong instead. It blended to an ugly brown and I got it on my head. How the next thing happened I don’t quite know. I had my shoes on- but got paint on every toe. I got it all up my arms. I was a spectacular sight, I looked like a walking painting giving my art teacher a fright. She told me to wash it off, hurry and be fast. But with only one sink I was late for class My teacher scolded me as I crept through the door. And even more when she saw the paint trail across the floor, I tried to explain what happened, but she couldn’t understand. How something like painting a rainbow could get so out of hand.
