You have two options: learn to love it, or dig up your lawn and
vastly improve the drainage. Take your pick.

And, just to set a certain seriously invalid interjector right,
this is from the OED:

Forms: OE-16 mos, lOE-16 mose, eME musse, eME-16 (17-18 arch.) mosse,
ME- moss, lME moes, moos, mosh, mossh, muse, 17 (U.S. regional) morse,
18- (Eng. regional) moze, 19- (Eng. regional) mose; Sc. pre-17 moase,
moasse, mois, moiss, moisse, mooss, mos, mose, pre-17 17 (18 arch.) mosse,
pre-17 17- moss

Plus, of course, it is spelled moos in German.
