Best Squirm Poems
Keep telling myself, think silly
It's sure not a struggle for this poet-y
Born to giggle

Coz humer impresses the fillies

Wiggling, underground,
Invisible....likely bored....
Not too much to see,
down there...
Has lots'a friends and family,
Or so I hear
Hopefully won't find out TOO soon
However, there is no fear....
Hey, waiter!!! Bring me another beer!!!
Hurry, the Worm is getting near!!

i am contrite when i contrive when i ruthlessly deprive
i relate when i sedate when i have a happy plate-
my remorse is discoursed thoroughly,
forced to pout with a broken snout-
my plight is to unite to stop the fight &
begin anew facing the same direction,
to gnaw & chew away the infection,
to leave no flesh to fester.
don't think this clever, the endeavor is
wet soap tumbling from my hands- i'm just
the dope clinging, pretending i'm cleaning,
singing incoherently, blatantly losing 'it'
(coincidently he / she / it / they
developmentally disabled) the label enables much
discrepancy much room to squirm betwixt firm
boundaries & morals mixed (such a beast must be fixed)
quarrelsome quaint & transfixed
at the concept- socially inept suddenly-
(intercept the spirit, pretend hard not to fear it)

The Worm Doth Squirm
by Preston Hill
The worm doth squirm as it burrows through the berm on its way to find a germ that it could squash.
But the germ began to turn upon the berm burrowing worm and found the worm to be quite warm and truly posh.
So the worm spit out the germ upon the wormy burrowed berm and then turned to get away once and for all.
And the germ called to the worm "You can flee this burrowed berm but you're going to see me once again this fall".

Should Have Seen Him Squirm
This they did confirm
They finally killed the germ
Should have seen him squirm.

As I look over the poems I’ve written
Seeing that several folks have read them,
Suddenly, I find myself strangely smitten
That anyone would read my simple poem.
So grateful that many have commented
Lovely phrases with complimentary terms,
Let’s face it, it’s so nice to be complimented
It always makes my innards squirm,
To think my poems are being read the world over
By poets so accomplished, [more so than I]
Is a little like finding an elusive four-leaf clover
Certainly, makes me want to continue to try
To write something of note, memorable
I suppose something that will elicit a smile
Finding so many in PS that are commendable,
I may try to write another one after a while.

You writhe and squirm, twist and bend,
Agonized for thirst of air.
And I’m bound by chains onto the ground,
Chained like a slave to a chair.
Still you dance on the edge, the open sill,
The sill open for a shattered erase.
Dressed in beautiful, dressed to kill,
An intoxicating purple tipped lace.
Are you just an idea, a butterfly notion,
Are you more than a theory to lure?
Since every night asleep, all I dream is of you,
Till you vanish in a puff of obscure.

Squirm the Germ
Vs.1
There’s a germ, his name is Squirm, he lives inside our head, and when we cough or sneeze or wheeze, he jumps right out instead! So…..
(Point to your head, then use both hands wide open to show how the germs will jump out)
Chorus
Cover your cough! (make cough noise into the crook of your arm.)
Cover your sneeze! (make sneeze noise into crook of your arm)
There’s no need to make others get sick!(waggle your index finger back and forth in a “no,no” gesture)
Cover your cough! Cover your sneeze!
It’s a really cool, stay healthy, tip! Yea! (hold two thumbs up)
Vs2.
Well, when that germ gets on my hands, no matter what I do, The only way to make him go is water and soap too! (use hand motions that mimik hand washing)
That squirmy germ just hates it! He thinks it’s such a pain! He squirms and gags and jumps right off, and washes down the drain!(Make funny “yuk” faces and twirling motion with your finger as if going down the drain)
Chorus
Sooo...Cover your cough! Cover your sneeze! There’s no need to make others get sick. Cover your cough! Cover your sneeze!
It’s a really cool, stay healthy, tip! Yea!
Vs3.
And when that germ gets in my nose, yes, right inside my snout…(point to your nose) I want to use my finger, to dig that germie out! ( mimic nose picking) But, I really shouldn’t do that, it will spread that germ about, so I will grab a tissue, and blow that booger out!(mimic blowing your nose into a tissue)
Chorus
sooo...Cover your cough! Cover your sneeze!
There’s no need to make others get sick. Cover your cough! Cover your sneeze! It’s a really cool…..stay healthy….TIP! YEA MAN!

Some Worm Who Would Wiggle
Remember when there was a worm,
Who would wiggle when it did squirm;
On path appeared,
As twilight neared;
Afraid and onto branch he held firm.
Jim Horn
