Poem
A little worm about three inches long Hairy, weak thing not very strong Five meters would be an all day trip For the worm moved by pulling itself along just by its top lip I’m tired of this crawling about, it wears me out I have no legs or feet and move with the lip of my mouth I wish something would just eat me, I’d be so glad Or I wish I could grow legs, my mouth is feeling bad While worm complained about its pains to you and me A robin stalked worm a juicy dinner you see Robin swooped down, picked up worm with its beak And swallowed and thought that was quick But the hairs on worm got stuck in the robin’s throat Sweat from worm caused the robin’s tummy to bloat Robin fell to the ground with an eye popping stare I think this worm's trying to kill me I swear Robin hit itself on the back to free him from this pickle For the hairs, they began to tickle This worm must come out; it is making me cry If it doesn’t come out soon, I'll surely die In all the commotion cat watched robin close by, A juicy robin that was choking, and couldn't fly Robin for dinner, could it be so easy? Not to big not to small, I won’t feel queasy Cat walked to robin and picked him up in its mouth Swallowed, and robin was going south Robin was wriggling and kicking Robin stuck cat’s throat and was squeaking. Robin cried Just my luck I’m choked by a worm and eaten by a cat I thought my chances for survival would be better than that Cat felt rough as the robin scratched inside its neck Cat was spat what the heck I have eaten birds but this one is tough My throat is scratchy and it feels all rough This bird will be the death of me, if I live, this is last one I prefer a mouse and birds I am done When cat had finished everything went dark Cat heard a yelp and a bark For goodness sakes this couldn't get worse Choked by a bird, eaten by a dog, what is all this? Dog went coughing and choking He nudged the boy and poked The boy gave him a hard whack Out popped cat, robin and worm from the whack on His back Save us from this horrid choking thing The boy, dog and cat ran, robin took to the wing Worm said Alas I thought my wish came true The hairs on me stopped me from been eaten, boohoo The boy and the dog and the cat tried once I thought the robin would have a better chance Little worm noticed something was wrong I got legs, I got legs and started singing a song I am a creature feared by all A creature so small *had to take a lot out*
