In the sludge

In the deep dark sludge

In the deep dark sludge it slopped around

Around the mud it slipped and slid

It slipped and slid in the deep dark sludge

In the deep dark sludge it slid around

It was spawned

In the muddy pond

In the muddy pond it arose and yawned

It arose and rubbed its sleepy eyes

Its sleepy eyes perceived the muddy dawn

In the muddy pond

From the grime

From the sticky slime

From the sticky slime it climbed away

Away it crawled across the shore

Across the foamy shore from the sticky slime

From the gooey grime

Upon a mound

Upon the dusty down

Upon the dusty down it reeled and writhed

It writhed it flaked and dried

It flaked and dried on the dusty down

Upon a mound
