A Wriggle In Time

There once were a couple of worms Who perished; their very last squirms Such a long time ago - 46,000 years, so you’ll know - Which a study by science confirms. They were trapped in a permanent frost And would likely be forever lost But some gophers around Dug them up from the ground And before they were heedlessly tossed A sharp scientist said, “Thaw them out!” And, despite some reactions of doubt, Into water they went And ‘twas soon evident They were wriggling slowly about. Does this prove if we’re buried in ice We can come back to life and live twice? I’m not sure that applies To our human-type size And for me, once around will suffice.
