The Savage and Me

For those of you who don’t have little brothers….well, you probably won’t get as much out of this as those of you who do. Now, all of you who have been blessed with the presence of the aforementioned Thing, know what darling little beetles they can be. You also know that small boy plus water equals: mud! And mud plus boy plus older sister equals major trouble! Few know what wonderful things you can learn from the grubby creatures though. So, here is the story of what I learned with mine.

Boots In The Mud

"Slap, slap," says
the rain on my window
"Slap, slap," say
my boots in the mud
"Stay and cry
"Tears of joy in the wetness
"Stay and cry,"
says the great gray sky
"Go home," says
the flirty bit o' sunlight
"Go home," says
the rain in my hair
"Go away," say
I to my common sense
"Slap, slap," say
my boots as I run.
