Ode to Mud

Oh, Mud
You are the sustenance of a green tomato
You provide water to the soil
Containing my juicy melons.
Oh mud, you provide such fun
For children of all ages
Gushy and wet,
Shploop!
You fall to the ground
In a satisfactory way
Never thinking twice.

Ode to Sunlight

Oh Sunlight
You light up my world
Bring life to my peers
Golden rays of goodness
Vitamin D delivered in a
glittering golden package
Tanner by the minute
To the point of burn
And UV, carcinogens.
Without you,
Oh sunlight,
The human race
Would come to a halt,
Wilted and gray;
Lifeless.
Oh sunlight,
Do not stop
Doing good deeds,
Giving precious life.
