stuck with mud

Mud outside,

tracked inside.

Showers twice a day

for little people,

carried in under my arm......

...."Stuck in muck"

they shout

as they leap

from the dirt pile

into the puddle

that the rain made

and  that they add to

with the garden hose!

....."Aah" I say,

stuck with muck,

generally ok

with puddles and dirt,

but rapidly losing

interest in the mud

and the play of the muddees.
