Mold Retold (by Mrs. P)

Small mold,

Big mold,

Green mold

You say!

All types of mold 

Seem here to stay.

~o~

Although, alas, it's very clear

Your mold won't simply disappear

(It's happy in your homes, I fear.)

You don't despair and lose good cheer

You smile and shrug and persevere

~0~

And when the fungal scourge gets worse,

You turn vexation into verse!

~o~

It clearly isn't nice to see

A furry mess where food should be,

And pillows which are blue and checked

Should not be damp and mold bedecked

~0~

And yet, you ladies turn this round

And know that lessons can be found

In things which usually annoy

As well as those which bring us joy

~0~

You understand God's warmth and light

Will ultimately put things right,

And even mold can cause delight,

For all things matter in His sight,

~o~

So, treat mold optimistically,

Good luck,

God bless,

From

Mrs P

Mildew and Mushrooms and Mold, Oh My!

A Very Moldy Parody of Dr. Seuss' popular verse One Fish, Two Fish...

Who knew that fish and fungi had so much in common!

Disclaimer: I own nothing related to Dr. Seuss and, obviously, get no financial benefits.

Some are pink and some are brown. Some are up and some are down.
Some are plaid and some are rad. And some are very, very bad.

Why are they plaid and rad and bad? I don't know. Go ask your dad.
Some are fluffy and some are slimy. Slimy one appears quite grimy.

From there to here, from here to there, creepy molds everywhere.
Here are some who grow on socks. They grow below on the wet, wet rocks.

Oh me! Oh my!
Oh me! Oh my!
Too many fungi meet the eye.

Some have long hair and some have short.
Some have fuzz and some have a wart.
Where do they grow from?

I can’t say.
But I bet it's not so very far away.

We see them come.
We wish they'd go.

Some grow fast.
And some grow slow.

Some grow high.
And some grow low

Not one of them is like another.
Don't ask us why.
Go ask your mother.

My friend, Brittney, reminds us that the best treatment for mold is exposure to sunlight. Likewise  the best treatment for our souls is exposure to the Son's Light.
