Who reads Poor Richard's almanac -
birds who wants to whack
someone who likes to squirm
(specifically, I mean a worm)
when the dawn goes crack?
I think birds cannot read,
so how will they succeed
in catching what will squirm
(specifically, I mean a worm)
so not to eat birdseed?
My advice for a worm
(and Poor Richard will confirm) -
always wake up very late
to avoid an awful fate
(and may you forever squirm).
