Ode To the Earthworm Re-Post

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, 
I'd better print a full retraction, 
they're not grisly, they're just fine!
