There’s a worm in my garden
How do I knows?
I’ve seen little worm tunnels
under the rose.
Each day when I garden
it’s pink nose appears,
in the peas, in the cabbage
there’s no soil it fears.
I try to avoid each small wormy hovel,
but yesterday morning as I dug with my shovel
I dug through a worm!
I done split it in two!
I created a twain!
What should I do?
Call police?
Call the fire truck?
Perhaps call a medic?
I’d given that worm much, much more than a headache.
It squirmed and it wormed,
it looked such a fright.
I scooped it into a cup
and I watched it all night.
By morning the two worms looked deader than dead
And I figured a funeral would help soothe my head.
As I lay the two worm pieces into the ground
They wiggled and squiggled and crawled all around.
Could it be?
Am I dreaming?
A twain worm is two?
Each piece looked near perfect
almost near good as new.
Now two worms roam my garden
fit and pink as they please.
Neath the cabbage and roses,
And particularly the peas.
