Paint It Black

With all due respect to the Rolling Stones:

I see a driveway and I want to paint it black .
Had no idea what it would do to my back!



Mean Old Man walks by and he wrinkles up his nose.
He's just lucky I can't reach him with my garden hose.



I started with a bristle brush just like I've always done.
Then I went to Ace and bought a roller just for fun.



It went on faster and a little easier on my back.
But my feet, my hands, my knees -- they're all painted black.



I see a driveway and it's now painted black.
I'm really glad that I don't have to go back.

Usually underestimate what I need to get the job done. Not this time -- I ended up with an extra one.

And I am gonna take it, take it, take it, take it back ...

Thanks, Jennifer. I'm hoping that after yesterday's rain, it will still decide to hang around. So far, so good. :-)
