Analysis of The Painter II
Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)
Now set up your easel and paint with a brush
There is no reason to worry and rush
The days will roll by like a ball on a hill
As you’re choosing your colors and painting with skill
I love all the beautiful pictures you paint
A world without anger and malice and hate
