Paint Job Poem by Ima Ryma

Paint Job



The Pope hired Michelangelo
To make the huge ceiling stand out
In the Cistine Chapel; to show
What faith and hope were all about.
Michelangelo gave his all.
He worked on his back, day and night,
In winter, spring, summer and fall,
Creating there a wondrous sight.
At last the frescoes were complete,
Well worth the long years toiled and tasked.
The Pope viewed the artistic feat.
'What do you think? ' the artist asked.

'Not bad; ' the Pope said, 'But, please note, '
'We do expect a second coat.'
