This dirt is so dry.
It might just make you high.
Ya gotta have a lot of water to make mud.
It's like your standing on crud.
Hard as Rock N' Roll
You can't even dig a hole.
Grass is as dead as a nail it makes you want to bail.

This isn't my best work, not even close. I literally was just trying to put words together, and I agree, I'm not sure how it could either lol.

the rhyming scheme makes it playful, and the examples contribute to the running theme that the ground is really crappy. i like it!
