This was inspired by Beasley's "Goin Fishin"

Worm Wisdom

I am a worm, but very small.
I wouldn't be much help at all
At being caught and used for bait.
The very thought of it, I hate!

Now, people view me with a sneer.
But that's okay, I like it here
And when I'm quickly tossed aside,
I find a place where I can hide!

The flower beds are best, I've found.
There's seldom anyone around,
Except for spring and autumn too,
When folks have things they want to do.

So, I lead quite a peaceful life.
Someday, perhaps, I'll have a wife.
Our offspring will be tiny too.
I'll find enough for them to do,
They'll never try to venture out
When men with shovels are about!

Dear Betty Lou,

This put a smile on my face. Each living thing has its place in this world. Even the little worm. I really enjoyed this read.

Love,
Patricia

Dear Betty Lou

I know what would keep those worms out of 'harms' way.  They can all become 'book worms'.  Eh! Eh!
