A Mellow Fellow

the dandelion's a classy fellow

on a springtime breeze

Betty'nBarnaBee Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Betty'nBarnaBee

original bees: 5" x 7"

in the bee-ginning

we all loved the sun

we couldn’t get enough

we were never quite “done”

our faces were bronzed

our hair sun-streaked gold

our innocence reigned

we’d never grow old

but time has a way

a mean streak, I’d say,

of hastening the days

that youth does betray

so now that we’re old

or older, to wit,

we’re gonna wise up

and use sunscreen, just a bit...

Gypsie Rosalie

original watercolor: 10" x 14"

you cannot be chicken

if you do some paintin’

unless you are thinkin’

does wondrous fresh stuff

your brain turns to mush

and you muck it all up

original watercolor turkeys: 9" x 12"

original watercolor pet pic: 9" x 12"

I think that it’s done

and I had some fun

‘though there a few 

solutions that skewed

my original view

if not,

 you’ve just got

to tell me to Stop!

Baubles'nBell Horn Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Baubles'nBell

original watercolr horn: 17" x 20"

The French Conundrum

The French Horn is happy

Wherever it plays

From Woodwinds and Brass

To  the Strings with such class.

Yes, the instruments agree

That it’s sound does so please.

And most of the time

The horn is quite amiable

But it can get unruly

And downright unplayable!

Posies Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Posies

original watercolor daffodils: 10" x 14"

Haughty

 that’s what

my Sophie thought

the first time she viewed

our tulips in bloom

‘cause there they all stood

as only they could

with petals held high

reaching up to the sky

now Sophie and I

know daffodils try

to brighten our days

with their friendly ways

not haughty, aloof

their faces, the proof

of good will and cheer

‘cause springtime is here

The Buggy'n the Bridge

original watercolor landscape and Amish: 8" x 10"

i wonder as i wander

trotting through this country work

does my horse sense 

make much more cents

than EVs 

pushed by those 'greenies'

or

does that bridge of reddish color

rich in hist'ry

with it's cover

need a facelift

or a raze if

deemed unsafe 

for those EVs

works not when food calls

Practice makes better

But perfect?

Not ever...

My advice to you

Buy a French Horn Kazoo!

for those orange and blues!
