The ChickClique Sunflower Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The ChickClique

original watercolor sunflowers

My Backyard Sauna

It’s a sunflower sauna

and my flora and fauna

are roasting and toasting

there’s even some boasting

“Oh back in the day

in Savannah, I’d say

twas a’ hundred and three

under a live oak tree

I, no sunflower, 

just a seed, don’t ya see

had a great aching need

to flee to PA

where I’d hoped to someday 

join the sunflower parade

as a backyard summer guest

at BB’s Sunflower Fest”

well, that was my quest

now I’m part of the crew

and it’s hot up here too

so we’re growling as we’re toweling.... 

Shoulda moved to Kalamazoo

Here we come

Chargin’ to the park

we’re gonna get there real early

While it’s still pretty dark

Hey, hey we’re the Beezers

We’ve got a lot of work yet to do

We have to sell ourselves all to you

So we better get hangin’

Ourselves in the Bertie Brown Booth!

just keep tryin’, you say

so that’s what I do

BradleyBoon Watercolors by Bertie Brown

BradleyBoon

original watercolor babboon: 8" x 10"

And the baboon mused

to his buddies in the zoo

why can’t we simply try

to lay our views aside 

let’s get along to day

‘cause that’s the better way

to live in peace and harmony

will benefit us all, you see

TwoDudes Watercolors by Bertie Brown

TwoDudes

original watercolor painters: 8" x 10"

we’ve got the blues

that’s certainly true

but we’ve also got

‘magination, a lot!

so natur-ally

when house painters pose

i gotta suppose

a painting will show

so here are those dudes

painting red/white and blues

on ladders, up stairs

with flourish and flair!
