And That Is Why I Am Just A Little Crazy




I can't paint
the way
they want me
to paint
and they
know that too.
Of course you
will say that
I ought to
be practical
and ought to
try and paint
the way
they want me
to paint.
Well, I will
tell you a secret.
I have tried
and I have tried
very hard,
but I can't do it.
I just can't do it!
And that is why
I am just a little crazy.
