Daily Prompt : Sludge

In response to one-word prompt : Sludge

I watched in horror the kid playing with sludge,

His clothes were dirty and his face looked like fudge.

I said, ‘I think your mom will take you to task,

For allowing yourself to wear this weird mask.’

‘No miss, he interrupted, she’s used to see,

My face  covered with muck oozing out of me.’

‘Really, I said, your mom seems to have good humor,

I’m not sure I’d enjoy looking at my kid’s face  and check my temper!’
