The Mud-pie Makers Rhyme

Mud is squidgy, slippery, sludgey. Mud is irmy-squirmy goo.

Mud is irmy-squirmy goo.

Mud is runny, squeezy, funny.

Mud is oozey-woozey too.

Mud is the nicest, muddiest mess.

Mud you can make with, mud you can share.

Mud is squidgy, slippery, sludgey.

Mud is irmy-squirmy goo.

Mud is runny, squeezy, funny.

Mud is oozey-woozey too.
