When I was young, I used to draw. My lines were a wriggle, My sketches were a scribble. My colours were a rebel, Of unmatching lights. My sky was red. My trees were blue. My grass was violet. Hanging from the dew. And then I went on, And learnt to grow. They taught me, or they say so, How to draw. I draw now. The lines I draw are straighter now. The pictures I make are neater now. The colours I fill are existent now. 'What have I learnt?', I ask myself. You say you've helped me grown. So. This is what I learnt. I answer, I drew them a perfect box. And painted it black.

I drew, I draw
When I was young, I used to draw. My lines were a wriggle, My sketches were a scribble. My colours were a rebel, Of unmatching lights. My sky was red. My trees were blue. My grass was violet. Hanging from the dew. And then I went on, And learnt to grow. They taught me, or they say so, How to draw. I draw now. The lines I draw are straighter now. The pictures I make are neater now. The colours I fill are existent now. 'What have I learnt?', I ask myself. You say you've helped me grown. So. This is what I learnt. I answer, I drew them a perfect box. And painted it black.
