A Dilemma 

Just grab a brush and paint you said

It seemed quite simple in my head

Just start from here and move to there

So away I went without a care

Before too long I saw my plight

A simple task – this can’t be right

So there I stood, trapped like a rat

Nowhere to turn - imagine that

So I thought and thought and thought some more

I never thought so hard before.

But no solution came to mind

Man I’m certainly in a bind.

The hours passed by and there I stood

Then you came back – I prayed you would

You looked at me and laughed out loud

You laughed so loud you drew a crowd

The solution’s simple – don’t you see

The paint has dried you said to me

I touched the floor and to my surprise

The paint had dried before my eyes

So the moral of this story is crystal clear

I learned the hard way it would appear

Don’t paint your floor red it’s plain as day

It will cause a dilemma and waste your whole day.
