“We are all worms—”

Most people

Are earthworms.

Some

Are cuter,

Or pinker,

Or slimier,

Or scalier,

Or wigglier

Than others;

But they all still

Eat dirt

They make me sick,

But

They’re really hard to get rid of.

Lastly,

There’re the ones

Like Winston Churchill

And me.

“But I do believe I am a glowworm.”
