The Little Green Worm - Nursery Rhyme

O, the little, green worm.
Why, o, why do you squirm
And wriggle all about?

Beneath the wild flower,
'Tis no April shower 
Raining down the tin spout.

Is it the olde robin
When he goes a' bobbin'?
Just listen to him shout!

O, the little, green worm.
Don't you scamper and squirm, 
And don't you nary pout. 

A sweet song, hear him sing,
Telling you it is spring,
Here now, without a doubt.

An inchroon perhapes? There is a children's book by Leo Lioni named, Inch By Inch. I think you would enjoy it even though it is a children's book. Do you know the song that begins, Inch worm, Inch worm measuring the marigolds....? Bless the little worm's heart. He is telling us to keep on going and to fear not, for sometimes that robin is too busy w/worms. Such a sweet poem.
