Wonderful, whimsical poetry...

Chosen especially for it's creative and fun imagery, this poem is written by fellow Canadian Dennis Lee. We all laughed as we read about this child sitting in a mud puddle! Enjoy.

The muddy puddle

I am sitting
In the middle
Of a rather Muddy
Puddle,
With my bottom
Full of bubbles
And my rubbers
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 of mostly
In the muddle
Is the Muddi-
Ness of Mud.
