The BudgieBuster Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The BudgieBuster

original pet portrait: 8" x 10"

Eminent Domain

is eminent domain

something budgies disdain

as they each stake their claim

to my muffin tops fame

don’t they have a clue

I have etiquette rules

they routinely eschew

behaving so RUDE

I’d tell them to flee

‘cause they’re making a scene

and a mess, it's obscene!

but they are rather cute

in their golden yellow suits

and their hollers and hoots

sound like piccolo flutes!

Happy is as Happy Does Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Happy is as Happy Does

original watercolor: 7" x 9"

in the beginning

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...

Market Woes Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Market Woes

original watercolor market: 9" x 12"

Sally's in charge

it’s plain to see

and she’s quite up front

with this truth indeed

she stands by the fruit

and veggies all day

waiting to help

you each market day

she works hard for Meck's

and hums as she hands

out change then says NEXT!

at our favorite stand

so during this plague

just point and she'll pick

your choice from afar

then bag it up quick!

Double Trouble Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Double Trouble

original watercolor of 2 ukin' dudes" 8" x 10"

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 rain

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….

Rhodi Blues Watercolors by Bertie Brown

Rhodi Blues

original watercolor still life  w/Rhododendrun: 12" x 14"

My windows are open

Cool breezes are flowin’

My curtains are flirtin'

With the sill and the sash 

This is the way

An early spring day

Ought always to be 

For two months or three....

Suites me perfectly

I bet you’d agree!

The Manny Pet Portrait Watercolors by Bertie Brown

The Manny

original watercolor pet portrait: 8" x 10"

at this time of year

with spring drawing near

there's not enough wine, 

to pacify time

might winter decease,

desist or at least

call it a day

and just go away

I’m tryin’ to stay 

upbeat, by the way,

I paint quite a lot

in a warm sunny spot..
