Ox

My 9th-grade
Art teacher tells
Us we have fifteen
Minutes to draw some
Animal so I draw a blue ox
Thinking of Paul Bunyan’s blue
Ox Babe and my art teacher asks
Me why my ox is blue and I reply
I just druid it that way thinking
Myself a clever punster but
She does not get my point
About blue Druids and a
Blue ox so she thinks it
Possible I am a hick
But also a talented
Artist to make the
Ox blue an error
On her part as
I am only a
Patient
Doodler of
Pen and inks
And not an artist
As she so much hoped.
My lesson was clever puns
Too often go astray the mark.
I should have drawn an
Appaloosa Holstein.
Apparently I seem
Never to
Learn.
