SECOND ODE TO WORMS



O! Wonderful Worm!
Holy Denizen
Of the Tunneled Ground!
Consume and Clean
This Clashing Earth!
Twist and Turn through
Earth’s Ancient Mound!
O! Wonderful Worm!
Good morning to your
Soft and Writhing Girth!
Praise for your Short
Yet Ceaseless Birth!
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!
The Worm we must
Idolize
Because it doth
Fertilize!
True Warrior and Savior of the Earth!
O! Wonderful Worm!

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!
