Coloring Trees

All afternoon long, I’ve been coloring trees

And I sure aim to please, when I’m coloring trees

But I’m still far from done, so I’m down on my knees

And I’m begging you, please, to be patient with these

Short delays - I need time - and I don’t mean to tease

I have no expertise and make no guarantees

And if you’re upset, I will try to appease

You, but now I’ll continue with coloring trees
