As the Pink Worm Squirms

As the Pink Worm Squirms was written for my bitch, pink twitch.

Mistress plots

As the pink worm squirms

She stirs the cauldron

and putters about

and the pink worm squirms.

She kicks pots and pans

looking around

and the pink worm squirms.

She finds the bat

but throws it astray

as the pink worm squirms.

She opens the fridge

pulls out salami

and the pink worm squirms.

She said, oh no

it’s tomorrow’s lunch

and the pink worm sighs.

She moves some bottles

Finds the eggs

Boils them up

and the pink worm squirms.

She ices them down

Peels off the shells

and the pink worm squirms

She pulls out the peanut butter

Coats the eggs

And looks at him with a gleam in her eye

As the pink worm squirms

The last squirm of the day.

The following morning

She checked his cage and

Made him an omelet with the eggs that he laid!
