staring roving eyes
kookaburra on a limb

slips slide snuggle signs
wriggly wrapped window wanders
earful eavesdroppers
earth entertains everyone
taking time to tell the truth...

wriggly worms surface 
          saturated ground beneath 
              bird tummies flutter

Ripened by the sunshine
Red and very juicy
Ready for me to eat
Rich in vitamin c
Really nice as snacks
Rinse before you eat them -
Risk of small wriggly worms!...

One and one can make three if you know what I mean
Messing around can have consequences unforeseen
It's the chance one takes
Employing one's wriggly snake
But beware, they usually grow up to be teens...

 An ugly, wriggly worm got into his trousers, wiggling and crawling
Reached a place he couldn't scratch, making him wobbling and howling

Wriggly was a litter bug pigged a litter of pigs
                        Trollop trollop a trollop trollop up came Mrs. Triggs
                                           She wrote an article
                                           On the God particle
                       She turned on the zero spin and fell on hapless pigs...

Dear Santa "I want", I wrote one day
Knowing just what mother would say
You don't say," I want" but "please may I"
For things you would like,...will give it a try

Santa I would like a puppy or two
Promise to feed it and pick  up the poo
So, can I have, I want, I really need
A wriggly puppy getting so excited it peed

I am digging in my sandpit
and I find a wriggly worm
I take it to show my mummy
you should have seen her squirm!

She does not like creepy crawlies
as they make her feel quite ill
But she's not seen my new pet spider
I have called my spider Bill!

The touch of gossamer wings
on eyelids busy with the darkest,deepest
thoughts of sleep
under the chinaberry tree
bending,sighing
one with the sea of grass
windy waves
chasing each other across the yard
gone to seed
with dandelionsandforgetmenots
blueblack cats
hiding from lizards
until it is too late
coming back to bring you
a surprise
a gift of love
a wriggly trophy
to wake you laughing
from your dreams...

Six feet tall
anchored with thin lines
to the rain spouts and drains,
hanging like a circular banner
glowing in our security light
centered by a dark wriggly thing
big enough to see from the
upstairs window. There's 
something about the moving
legs of spiders that scares me,
so precisely was it
sorting out its threads.

But in the morning 
nothing but a ruin.
The light runs swiftly through it,
barely diffused and there is no
monster....

wiry wily 
snakily snake
like a load of spaghetti
all coily not straight

roundy and writhy 
curly with flow
like stringy all knotty
and cotton to sew

a scribble of dribble
all longy in length
and bendy and turny
beginning to end

spirally spiralled 
wriggly and roll
wiggled and wavy
like a zigzaggy pole

snakey and snakile
like an old twisty loop
sinewed and mazy 
or ouroboros hoop

so anyway a snake
a snake anyway
did I mention a snake
I think I did say
