The Holy Book

I have a hole in the book
Where a little worm ate
In little bites 
It took
And let in the light

The worm knew not 
What it read
How holy the book
Or what it said

I read the book
The story as told
Need be with faith
Holes and all

The worm 
Left the book
I used it as bait
To catch the fish
That kept the faith
