"my Life As a Worm"

This poem was wrote for Ashley when she was in kindergarden.

My life as a worm.
All I do is squirm and squirm.

My body is squirmy,long and round.
I live in the dirt deep in the ground.

In the ground I dig real deep.
Until I find a place to sleep.

I have no eyes so I can't see.
But I can feel you when your close to me.

They like to catch me and put me in a jar.
They put me on a hook and throw me far.

Nicely done children's rhyme. I am sure little boys would love to hear this one read. Keep writing. Sara
