Best Worms Poems

Gummy Worms

Everybody likes me.
Nobody hates me.
Because I share my worms –
Yummy, yummy gummy worms
Sour and sweet yummy worms
Sitting in my kitchen, sharing worms!

(SHOUT!)
Yummy, yummy gummy worms!

Dirty worms squirming
Excavating with instinct
Wiggle brown wormy ~

Shoveling thick dirt
Accidently cut a worm
It wiggles in pain...

Worms have real bad luck
Always getting hooked on things
Sounds fishy to me

It's raining, it's pouring
The old man is snoring
Song is driving Mom crazy
I'm gonna to draw her a daisy

Yay, the rain is stopping
I don't want to go shopping
I want to go out and play
I promise to put my crayons away

I'll wear my boots, I won't get...

Wiggly Worms

They took out both tonsils and each adenoid
And now another sore throat I cannot avoid
There is nothing with left to collect the germs
Which once were dangling and wiggling worms.

Stopped complaining and conclusion came to
Very sharp object is someone's point of view
Once was lost and...

I dig beneath the autumn leaves among the earthy rot
To free an earthworm situated there its freedom to fresh air
Thus I grasp the wiggler- tis slimy and wet-it wiggles all the more
And place it in an old fruit jar amongst brethren already there

Now hunkered on...

Politicians are skilled at squirms
which indubitably confirms
one cannot bake
a cake from snake
by opening a can of worms...

Relax Honey... The Worms Will Play!

Oh honey one day,
We will both part;
To rot in graves,
And waste away:
Playing with worms,
And dancing with maggots,
As they climb all around.
Relax love all is well!
Soon we'll be down bellow,
Cavorting with the others, under the ground....

Mummy says I shouldn’t eat juicy wiggly worms
She said that they are mucky and they’re full of nasty germs
I never take no notice though, and when she isn’t looking
I’ll eat some scrummy worms because, they’re better than her cooking...

Tom tom drums call men unto war

The Euphrates dries in preparation

Of a Third world war as Gog and Magog

Start a Cataclysmic war that unchecked

Will lead to an outright world war

Russia is on the offensive in arms against

A colleague of the Russian federation

By name Ukraine is...

"Bold" was all I could think about his plan
To just go fishing and not go to school
Brilliant was what it was - on or off hand -
All who saw it that day thought it was cool

Worms was what was lacking - and that was all
So...

The ashes of the years diffuse in dust,
Their motes exuding mauvish glow
That alters gray to black.  But I’ve no trust
In Time, that cut-purse thief, who robs us so.
For, grave ward borne, my gathered decades shorn
From off my limbs, my soul but cuts adrift
And cheats...

We were worms all of us
Not quite the food of hawks or eagles
Burried in crunchy crust
I was the one that walked the beagles
Fed the cat
Washed the mat
And made all the toilets smile
I was the one happy with the chance to toil

We we worms all of...

Oh I have done it now, I have failed you yet
Upon whose bones and shoulders I've trampled 
With the rightful heir's death
Chaining myself to a throne of thorns
Unequally yoked with my kinsmen
Who drag the crown over these hallowed grounds
The dead tell no lies for we...

Corona Virus..... oh shut up or shut down? 
We are all in the same crisis run-a-round. 

With or without Trump and Brexit it's the same ole' coffin.
There's no cure for the gormless boffin.
