A worm in trousers, wobbling and howling. You certainly had your 'imagination cap' on when you wrote this one, Valsa! Smiles, Gershon

Wriggly worms are one thing, but fire ants are a real pain! Aloha!

Oh my, Valsa, he's in a bit of an uncomfortable predicament, to say the least, anyhow, 'tis a nice rendered couplet, and here's to hoping your best my friend, Aloha!

Valsa, your couplet is hilarious. I don't recall ever being a victim of aggressive nematodes. Indeed, they would be gone in no time.

Hahaha. Reminds me of a hairy worm in my native town which is very itchy. Once it gets even into your clothes you will itch a lot and it will spread to all the areas you scratch. Humorous couplet.

Can't say I ever suffered from invasive worms. The would be dead quickly enough.

But as long as it keeps wriggling on the skin, it tickles and is so annoying.

Bilhartzia? That used to be a problem in South Africa. ThanX Sis, for a laugh & a caution. Shalom shalom in Lord Jesus, who protects us from every danger ( psalms, eg. 37)

I don't think that Bilhartzia is here. I am talking about a kind of furry worm - the very contact of which will cause severe itching. Glad you had a laugh . Thanks a lot brother... Love and peace

Hello, Valsa! Nice to meet you! This is a delightful, deceivingly simple (not at all!) rhyming poem. It is very visual to me. I pictured a 4-year-old in baggy trousers wriggle dancing trying to deal with that tormented worm! Thank you. Really enjoyed this.
