A Muddy Day
I put my feet in the pot the old fashioned way Very cold, tingly. Playing in the puddles, everything muddy All the dirt on the floor. Mother took out a jug and a dish Carried me over Took off my filthy pants, shirt and wellies Put my two feet inside the big bowl poured cold cold water all over it. She wiped me up with a cloth as best as she could and said: “Take a bath later!” Clean again, I am sunny Time to go find another puddle to jump in!
