I can paint by numbers.
I can paint a picture for you in one thousand words.
I can even play ‘Paint it Black’ on air guitar for you
But every time I paint myself in a corner
I need you to pull me out.

it’s a great way to write flash fiction; and jokes 🙂 I always know if I’ve got a great last line I will have a pretty good poem or story

Very good wordplay:
In fiction, when you paint yourself into a corner, you can write a pair of suction cups onto the bottoms of your shoes and walk up the wall and out the skylight and see the sun breaking through the clouds. In nonfiction, you don’t have that luxury.

suction cups would not have worked: there was only one way out 🙂
