she splashes with ducks
She chants a ditty when she splashes with ducks
The mud hole under them is mighty with mucks.
She’s getting dirty, her daddy said, looking at her coat.
Don’t be a spoil sport, said grandpa, you are not an old goat.
Grandma took up for her also, loving her smile and her song.
Let her be a child as much as you can, she said. It doesn’t last long.
