Our country lane
after rain,
puddles remain
that never drain.
Muddy stain
on mats are plain.
Explain, no gain
good feelings wane.
Next time I’ll take my boots off at the door.
More at Magpie Tales.
PS. Very little time this week, will explain later.

ReplyDeleteReminds me of the (few) times I (may) have yelled at the kids as they were tracking mud into the house! I know better now ....
ReplyDelete(expecting quite an explanation, Sir)
Got rid of the carpet?
Deleteoh yeah, you are in trouble for the footprints on the good carpet for sure...i had to explain blue paint foot prints once...it was not pretty...
ReplyDeleteGood one Stafford - it's the small things that add up sometimes ;)
ReplyDeleteYou might think it is important to keep knives, forks and spoons each in separate compartments too! IXL refuses to sort them and it drives me crazy!!!!
DeleteAll of your clever rhymes definitely make up for any muddy tracks, left unnoticed. I love the playfulness. Thank you, Stafford. I enjoyed sharing this.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Stafford.
ReplyDeleteWhimsical take as always, Stafford! And not forgetting your witticism and this time it rhymes all the way. Great!
ReplyDeleteHank
What a striking picture!
ReplyDeleteAh, just went to Tess' site and discovered it's an M.C. Escher. I should have known.
ReplyDeleteLoved this :)
ReplyDeleteBecause if you don't, your surely insane!
ReplyDeletehappy wife, happy wife?
DeleteIt had that effect on me, too. Merry Christmas, Mr Stafford
ReplyDeleteYou learned that lesson the hard way! Don’t ever bother to explain...the damage is done.
ReplyDeleteMuddy paw prints

I paused
And then laughed
Because there's always another day
For a clean house........
My hubby's a stickler for shoes off at the door and things like that. His eyes go straight to your shoes the second you come in - so that's why I chose a family house near a park with muddy patches, small burn, grass cuttings every week and other things that bother him. It's the doggie do's that I go mad at mind you!
ReplyDeleteGood idea ; ) Hope the good feelings returned...
