The Bookworm Nursery Rhyme
Blue skies changed to scarlet
Sunset fell beneath the starlet
A pasture of stars, shimmering
Following the moon’s glimmering
Beautiful night, whispering light
Kissing with laughter so bright
It was heaven’s stillness, smiling
Breathing joy and hope, beguiling
As the caterpillar wandered, alone
Oh, my, how his belly did groan
He had eaten all the pretty flowers
Before the skies filled with showers
Soon turning such a vibrant green
Looking so much like a string bean
I decided he was a dancing worm
Because he would squiggle and squirm
As insects go, he was just delightful
Though coming from bloodlines so frightful
He’s the most intelligent worm I know
A book in hand, his huge brain all aglow
