A Rhyming Blog (with Apologies to Dr. Seuss)

Staining the Deck Lament (with Apologies to Dr. Seuss)

I do not like to stain the deck!

To stain the deck

Is a pain in the neck.

 

I do not like

This mundane chore.

I'm telling you

It is a BORE.

 

I do not like my brush that drips.

I do not like the rung that dips.

I do not like the nasty smell.
I do not like the globs that gel.

I do not like my wobbly ladder.

I spilled the stain

And got madder and MADDER!

 

The paint can said

This stain was CLEAR

But now my hands are

GOLDENROD?!???

Oh, Dear!!!

 

I'll tell you this

(And please take note),

There WILL NOT BE

A second coat!

 

My neighbors picnic.

They play in the sun.

But as for me

I'll have no fun.

I'll have no fun

'Til this job is DONE!

 

Forgive the whining.  I love the deck.  Really.  Sort of.
