When Life Hands You Lemons Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

When Life Hands You Lemons

original still life watercolor w/lemons, tea pot, bowl: 11" x 14"

curiouser and curiouser

it seems to me

this spring is the bomb

at flirting you see

‘cause just when you feel

a warm gentle breeze

a sun so friendly

you’re relaxin’ indeed

a cold front blows in

equipped with more snow

it spreads itself out

and i want to shout

oh yes there’s the rub

when springtime has come

those idyllic days

are quickly undone….

Coronation Station Musical Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Coronation Station

original musical motif still life w/trumpet, violin, piano: 11" x 14"

would a trumpet 

be a strumpet

if she played a loose lipped jig

while her brother

played another

more pretentious tight hipped gig

would a trumpet

eat a crumpet 

while she played a high brow dig

could a strumpet 

be a pundit

if she shed her platinum wig?

would a trumpet

be a strumpet 

if she wore one high heeled shoe

could a crumpet

 clog a trumpet 

if it got stuck in her tube?

Trumped by the Sax Still Life Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Trumped by the Sax

original watercolor still life w/trumpet, sax:21" x 14"

a musician displays 

exhibitionist ways

but it’s all okay

‘cause music filled days

and nights do remain

quite high on our list

of things we like best

so please don’t insist

we cease and desist!

Some LNP Press is the Best! Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Entertainment Section of the LNP, March 5

now I got some press 

today by the way

and press is the best

on a COLD snowy day

and since it is March

this snow maybe may

take its cue and embark

on a trip far away

and PLEASE take these temps

so frizzin’ low down

do make them exempt 

from this PA town

‘cause we’re all just done

with winter wonderlands

we yearn for warm sun

and beaches….and sand

Trumped by Sax Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Trumped by Sax

original watercolor still life w/trumpet/sax: 11" x 14"

this winter’s so long

it’s long in the tooth

let’s give it a shove

let’s give it the boot!

my heating bill’s HUGE

yet my house is cold

I’m grumpy like Scrooge

with a frozen billfold…

there’s snow on my roof

and ice in my veins

my fingers, I’ve proof

are going insane!

they’re sending their prints

to sunnier climes

I think I’ll insist

I join them in this

we’ll drive ‘till we find

a welcoming spot

long on sunshine

with no winter bite!
