Mud Puddle

Splish, splash! 
In the mud puddle jump!
The water flys up
and the mud goes "Blump!"

You dash around 
and you grab your friend.
And you both fall down 
on your little back end.

The mud oozes through 
your shoes and socks,
it climbs up your pants 
and comes out your frocks!

It wiggles in one ear
and drips out the other.
Soon you're as dirty  
as your little kid brother.

Now down the street,
walks mother and dad.
This could be trouble.
They're sure to me mad!

They stand by the puddle, 
they look down and shudder,
could this little mud ball 
be their lovely daughter?

You wipe off your nose 
(but it drips on you chin)
it sneaks into your mouth 
when you open to grin.

"Hi mommy, Hi daddy.
Don't you remember?
That when you were young, 
there was mud in September?"

But daddy looks stern 
and he says "I'm amazed!
That a daughter of mine,
could let her mud glaze!"

"Doesn't she know 
that it's best when it's wet?
When it drips out her nose 
and is cover in sweat?"

"And take off your shoes!" 
(and he takes off his).
"And squish with your toes, 
like I'm doing, gee whiz!"

And it's up by your feet
and he dunks you in mud.
And this little darling, 
is what's know as true love!
