Jeff The Three-Legged Worm

Jeff the three-legged worm they weren’t his legs but legs that he’d found from old bits of twig just scattered around he once saw a centipede who laughed and made fun of a young and shy Jeff stuck on his tum but Jeff swam through soil and the centipede saw staring in wonder amazement and awe the twig legs put by now but kept just in case although Jeff seems ok from the beam on his face

Reminiscent of Norman the Slug with the Silly Shell - another great write from you. Remember me when you're famous. I'll drop by a book signing asking for a first edition free of charge :)

This was a lighthearted and fun read Clive! I can empathize with Jeff here. So many times in life we pretend to be something that we are not, out of fear of rejection or wanting so bad to be accepted and to fit in!! And then it turns out, all we have to do is be ourselves. It takes many years to learn who we are, to be accepting of who we are and believe who we are is enough for others to love and accept. A profound introspective piece you have drafted here Clive!! Well done
