The lowly worm is still going round in my head. Maybe after after this episode it will fade away. Cross your fingers for me.

I can’t get the “worm” out of my head
Please don’t shoot me…

Sope Creek gurgles ore the rocks
The wild geese look a little shocked
Fat squirrels ate up all the scones
The lowly worm can do no wrong

Leaves hang limply in the pot
The question water them or not
Have all the wooly boogers gone
The lowly worm can do no wrong

The car sat still it would not start
I think it should be torn apart
Radio’s play country songs
The lowly worm can do no wrong

Big boys are in the army now
I think they all should wear a crown
President Bush should be long gone
The lowly worm can do no wrong

Where are all the fickle fish?
Do you know which is plate or dish?
That blue haired lady plays Mah Jong
The lowly worm can do no wrong

Her swimming suit is spicy orange
She holds her nose but does no harm
Sol’s power pitch can crack your dome
The lowly worm can do no wrong

The man rides in his little cart
You’d think that sometimes he would park
That girl should never wear a thong
The lowly worm can do no wrong

Barbells seem to come alive
I think good music will survive
Johnny Cash has come and gone
The lowly worm can do no wrong

That boy swims in Sope Creek pool
Stands on his head and is he cool
Works on cars and he is strong
The lowly worm can do no wrong

But now the words have all been said
I think they scrambled up my head
Instead I should have sung a song
The lowly worm can do no wrong

    This is a poem of great social relevance. Very nice work.

    Bet the birds would love you for this. I love watching the birds pluck the fattened, sweet and juicy worms from the ground after rain.

    Thanks Ruby, J

    That worm travels near and far. It wiggles well.

    Hi Ruby, I see you have the same problem I had with my recent poem – and you know I don’t write them often at all. This is also well-written, but I don’t suppose you wanted it all in one long line like it’s been published.

    I’m glad you managed to fit in the word ‘thong’ in there.

    best,
    anne

    Very cute! I’m glad it ended before the lowly worm wins and we all become worm food.

    Thanks Ya’ll, I appreciate your words of kindness. I had to have a fix placed on this one, too. They won’t leave my stanza’s alone. It’s good to see you back Goodself. I hope all is well. You all take care, Ruby
