In love with Mud

A

few days ago the kids discovered that the large mud puddles in our backyard  that I wrote about earlier are good for more than simple squishing between the toes.  We found them . . . jumping off of a small hill and into the puddle, practicing their "swimming," digging, sculpting, and generally having a wonderful time.  It's one of those things that you just simply can't get away with as an adult, but kinda' wish you could.  

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!
