I don't know about anyone else, but right now, it's easy to look at the world I live in and say "ugh." I took that negative thought and wondered how I could make it more positive. In the end, this poem is a humorous reflection on my own attitude.
Ugh
Ugh said the rock
Ugh? asked the dirt
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
Ugh answered the rock
Okay, but what’s ugh? wondered the dirt
It’s ugh bellowed the tree roots
Ugh answered the rock
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
I don’t get it sighed the dirt
Ugh ugh chanted the leaves
Ugh answered the rock
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
It’s ugh bellowed the tree roots
Just tell me! protested the dirt
Uuuugh cried the clouds
Ugh answered the rock
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
It’s ugh bellowed the tree roots
Ugh ugh chanted the leaves
Do you see now? asked the flower
Yes, I see now! shouted the dirt
Ugh ugh ugh exclaimed the dirt
Ugh answered the rock
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
It’s ugh bellowed the tree roots
Ugh ugh chanted the leaves
Uuuugh cried the clouds
Ugh answered the rock
Yeah, ugh chorused the blades of grass
It’s ugh bellowed the tree roots
Ugh ugh chanted the leaves
Uuuugh cried the clouds
Ugh ugh ugh exclaimed the dirt
And so the story goes,
They will keep on ughing
Until there are no ughs left
You can join their song,
But beware:
It’s really quite hard to stop
Once you’ve begun
