Clean Dirt

"You will eat a peck of dirt,
in the time before you die."
That's what my Grandma use to say	
and then she informed us why.

"Dirt is Nature's nat'ral way,
better than the doctor's drugs.
Dirt will help your body fight
off all those bad germs and bugs."

Modern moms will have a fit
when their kids get filthy, black.
They don't stop to realize
it prevents those germs' attack.
