The Painting

I have a picture of a ship,
It's hung upon my wall,
Whenever I walk by to and fro,
I hardly see it at all.

When I'm all alone at home,
And bored beyond compare,
I glance at the blank white wall,
And Lo! The picture's there!

Blues turn into glorious azures,
Every green is a dazzling patch,
I can see the wind flapping in the mast,
I can see the cannon's hatch.

It's a masterpiece indeed,
The Mona Lisa's match,
The artist (of course) is me,
But then I hear the door's latch.

My parents have returned,
The picture fades away,
Leaving itself for admiring,
On another boring day.
