Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
No matter how fast you run,
Yet I nearly perish
In the midday sun.
Shadow.

I’m Usually Quite Pleasant
I’m usually quite pleasant
As you roam and play,

I’ll attack if I stay dry,
Better grab a pail of water,
I’ll not stop until I die.
What am I?
