Idle Art

Mara Lynn Barbee

I was bored at school today,
And remembered something fun.
It started while watching a b-ball game;
I can't tell you who won.

I was bored out of my skull, see,
And had a pen at my command.
So it then occurred to me
To practice drawing on my hand.

Since I usually draw fantasy art,
I drew a dragon on my arm.
Then a second one appeared,
Intent on causing the first harm.

I joyfully drew the creatures
Ready to fight with flame and fist.
One spread its wings across my hand;
The other's tail wrapped 'round my wrist.

The dragons were a lot of fun,
And the compliments I adored.
Now I draw them on my hands
Quite often when I'm bored.
