Worm

Smallest finger of a worm sends a million legs a crawling.

Thousands of legs on one side joined in concert to move.
Forward, forward, ever forward.
Over bumps, into cracks, around the gravel.

 Whoops! Its' a cat. 
 Smallest finger of a worm,
You've just become a side dish in your turn.

Millions of legs in that tummy.
Thousands of legs running round.
Forward, forward, ever forward.
Over the inside of a belly button.
 
No wonder my cat is hanging upside down.
