Ouflht to Paint
I ought to have p inted last year,
but I hated to pay $2 a gallon.
Ive got to paint this year; itT
take a little more paint; I suppose 1
gallon in 10; and a little more work,
I suppofe 1 day; in 10.
My job would have cost last year
about $50, it is going to cost this
year $55.
$5 gone. I suppose It'll be the san
