I like mud.
I like it on my clothes.
I like it on my fingers,
I like it on my toes.
Dirt's pretty ordinary
And dust's a dud.
For a really good mess-up
I like mud.

"I'm in Love with Mud"
( July 6, 2009 - Photo by Bill Pugliano/Getty Images North America)
I'm in love with mud,It's sad, I know, but true.
I just can't help but splash in it,
Or stomp a path right through.
It's sticky and it's dirty,
And it covers all my clothes.
But when I see it lying there,
A voice inside me grows...
...You can't resist, you know I'm right,
It's fun to play in mud!
Look at it just sitting there,
I really think you should!
I splatter in the grimy gloop,
I can't resist the ooze!
I run, I jump, I stamp about,
It drips into my shoes!

I wrote this one for you...
ReplyDeleteI see a mud puddle
but what should I do?
First I'll go around it
so I wont mess up my shoes...
Then I'll jump over it
As I think of something new...
I guess there is nothing left for me to do
So I will splash, splash, splash in the mud puddle too!
If you happen to see a pile of mud,
ReplyDeleteDon't even stop and..
Step in the mud
Stomp in the mud
Jump in the mud
or twirl in the mud
And whatever you do don't slip in the mud!
Oh no!
"Mud, mud, glorious mud!
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like it for cooling the blood.
So follow me, follow
Down to the hollow
And there we will wallow in glorious mud!"
-Donald Swann
