Getting Grubby - a Little Kid Again Contest

The sun was shining brightly Shall we go to the lake said Mam I was washed and dressed Placed in my buggy , all spick and span Mam dressed my sister Then herself she had cleansed Ready for the off now She looked at me and screamed Just look at the state of you You cant go out like that I had only sat in my buggy What on earth was the fuss  about My lovely white brocade dress Was filthy, how was that I was just sitting in my buggy Was the pesky dogs fault Been out in the garden Digging holes just for the fun Came in and saw me sitting there Onto my buggy he had come My dressed was pulled off me Face and  hands washed once more Looking clean and happy again Off to the lakes pebbly shore This keeps getting retold whenever grubby children are mentioned. "She could get dirty just sitting in a buggy"  I was aged about 18 months - 2 years Penned 23 August 2013

Wonderful, fun poem. I can relate, my mom despaired of ever keeping me clean, especially my feet because I always refused to wear shoes (still do in fact)
