A muddy mess?

Funny!? Maybe? Of Course!
 
Funny?-5%! Sorrow-sad! 95%!
 
I heard the slapping wet of feet padding cold rain-soaked
ground against a child’s laughter at the exciting adventure-
wild dancing between the huge water drops; then, a deafening
silence in suspend animation through a void in the cacophony
as the urchin hydro-planed slipping on the wet surface to
become reluctantly “airborne” landing un-ceremoniously face
first in a colossal spray of liquid mud resulting a brown snowman.
 
95% Funny to me; only 5% to the victim!
100% Sorrow-sad to the victim; to me, too!
 
With a kind word, encouragement, a genuine smile and
a congratulatory 10-finger score salute for performance,
I produced soap, water, a towel and clean, dry clothes and
a helping hand restoring dignity where none remained save
that super-extraordinary feat of acrobatic acumen achieved.
 
Let me enjoy Humor! Absent any other’s expense!
Allow that I be Honest! In fair judgment-assessment!
Offer me courage-show Humble!-kind considerations!
 
I cannot change the history; I might persuade it fun-tolerable.
 
Amen!
