Analysis of The Worm



The worm is short and fat
Some times they're skinny and long
They like to crawl around in the grass
And tear up all of the lawn.

When it starts to down pour rain
They have to come up and get some air!
There's a lot of birdies flying around
They're frolicking every where!

Being that the worm is blind
It cannot see too well my friend
The birdies see the worm..
And the worm "gets it in the end".......
