When I was a little
toddler, I was out in the garden and I found this long earthworm.
Full of pride and joy I brought it in the house to show my mommy, so
I've been told. This didn't go over all that well. Apparently, this
is not something we do in the civilized world.
Tis
mischief which beguiles us
It
pines for release
Oh
but to be a fine upstanding prig
When I was a middle age
joker, I was out in the garden and I found this long earthworm. Full
of pride and joy I brought it in the house to show my wife, so I'm
reminded. This didn't go over all that well either. Apparently, the
civilized world is not ready for middle age jokers.
I
have a cat, his name is Olly
With
never a hint of mischievous guile
Crawls
under the blanket and tickles my toes
When I'm 95 and in a
nursing home I'm going to go out in the front lawn and find a nice
long earthworm. Full of pride and joy I'm going to bring it in and
show the nurses. I hope this goes over real swell, otherwise I may
yet have to scorn civilization.
