in the muck. In my
truck.
(Just bad luck.)
Tried to flee. Silly me.
Feet got tucked
in that muck
with my truck.
(Aw, shucks.)
Pulled ’em loose. Lost
my shoes.
(Bad news.)
Still here. Oh, dear.
Mud in ear. End is near.
(Yuck!)

Today calls for something silly. I’m hosting the Quadrille over at dVerse. Come play!

This reminds me of Frankie’s childhood book “My Truck is Stuck!” I still remember the refrain: “What rotten luck! My truck is stuck!” A yukky situation, to be sure! Great write!
Ha.. Love it… when the mud is rising the end is near… may rescue come to get the truck out from the muck
It must really suck to get stuck with your truck in the muck–talk about bad luck; makes you just want to kick a duck; smile.
Ha, ha, ha! I love the use of brackets here, and the internal dialogue. It works really well.
Is this a true story by any chance, De? I love the silly rhyming and the bracket talk!
There’s a lot of yucky things to avoid.
Oh I absolutely adore this! ❤️ Such delightful rhymes in this one, De 🙂
Having been stuck in Southern mud, I can relate. A fun take on the prompt. Love all the rhymes!
Oh dear, stuck in the muck in your truck! Yuck indeed.
How witty and fun!
Ha ha ha ….great visual.
Ok, you get the prize for the yuckiest image – mud in the ear!!! Fun 🙂
Great poem.
mud is ear is total yuck! I am sorry your lost your shoes, more yuck between the toes…shudders!
Oh my goodness, this resonates. Long story….that involves mud, a truck and a canyon in New Mexico. I liked the format of your poem, alternating with pauses of reaction to the situation.
Oh no! Hope you didn’t fall in it 😳
I could see you mucking yourself up!

This is too horribly familiar to be funny.
And then when the yuck dries on your soles, you have to dig it out with a knife, lol. Thanks for a yucky, mucky look at the mud
Haha! I can see you going under into all that yuck! What luck!
This would make a great children’s book, I think! Fun prompt, De 😀
Fun piece
Smiling, luv silly
much love…
