If someone calls you a worm,
seek clarification.
If it’s an earthworm they’re referring to,
consider this:
earthworms till soil, recycle,
add nutrients and oxygen,
and help with drainage.
They themselves are food
for robins and other birds,
snakes, snails, bears, foxes,
and hedgehogs.
They provide endless opportunities
for young boys to tease
their squeamish friends and prove
their fearless masculinity
as they bait hooks and fish.
If someone calls you a worm,
you are clearly an asset to the planet.
Nod sagely and thank them.
