FIRST ODE TO WORMS

Wonderful Worms!

Holy Denizens of the Tunneled Ground!

Consume and Clean this Warring Earth!

Twist and Turn through Earth’s Ancient Clay!

Hail to your Soft and Writhing Way!

Praise for your Transient yet Ceaseless Labor!

Why isn't there a National Worm Day or Month?

Why isn't your Name and Shape on a coffee cup?

You Warm and Till the Sacred Soil!

You Eat and Secrete with your Toil!

Idolize the Worm because it doth Fertilize!

True Warriors and Saviors of the Earth!

Wonderful Worms!
