Ornamental Brass Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Ornamental Brass

original watercolor still life w/horn ornament, glass, plant: 10" x 13" 

back in the day

i remember we played

with marbles and jacks

and baseballs and bats

but sometimes i recall

though i tried hard to stall 

i had to apply

my  lip 

to the tip

of my tarnished old horn

and try not to sound

too bad or forlorn

much later i found

practice, patience plus time

would greatly improve

my horn teacher’s mood!
