A Worm's Eye View
I’m just a humble earthworm
Way down low on nature’s list
But life would be the poorer
If we worms did not exist.
We burrow down beneath the soil
And let the fresh air seep
Whilst loosening the earth
Allowing rain to drain down deep.
And though it pains me to relate
Our usefulness extends
To yielding juicy morsels
To your chirpy feathered friends.
Forget organic rubbish
We can break it down a treat
Releasing back into the soil
The nutrients you eat.
There’s more to us than meets the eye
Look past our slimy skin
And contemplate before you squirm,
A world without us in.
