Ode To the Earthworm

Worms are grisly, quite abhorrent, slimy, and a world apart from style and character I'll warrant. All they do is wriggle, wiggle to distraction, captured by the early bird they're skewered to inaction Yet they aerate the soil, help in nature's grand design, think I'll print a full retraction they're not grisly, they're just fine!
