Poem of the Week (5/12-5/16)

The Muddy Puddle

I am sitting
In the middle
Of a rather Muddy,
Puddle,
With my bottom
Full of bubbles
And my boots
Full of mud,

While my jacket
and my sweater
Go on slowly
Getting wetter
As I very
Slowly settle
To the bottom
Of the mud.

And I find that
What a person
With a puddle
Round his middle
Thinks mostly
In the muddle
Is the Muddi-
Ness of Mud
