Muck
Muck is good, muck is great
Muck sticks to the prongs on my rake
Muck can be green, muck can be brown
Muck makes a wet, sucking sound
Muck is not mud, muck is not clay
Muck is not feces lodged in old hay
Muck is not sand, muck is not trash
Muck is not shavings, old food or grass
Muck is a combination of all of these things
That’s what makes muck such a wonderful thing
Muck builds muscle, strengthens sinew and bone
Muck can be enjoyed in groups or alone
Muck can be dark and can be light
Muck fills my days and fills my nights
Muck sticks to frogs
and sticks to shoes
Muck coats a log
and coats a shrew
Muck oozes and drips
Clings and it sticks
Muck clumps up and glops
It falls in big drops
Muck grows algae and mold
But never grows old
Muck fills the tires on trucks
Muck only cares about muck
And if I have any ponderous luck
I will live my life surrounded by muck.
