Worms

Silkworms have dressed the fairest women,

Glowworms have their own starry climes;

Straight from his breakfast on a worm,

The bird begins his morning chimes.

Maggots, so fat and short,

Tapeworms, so thin and long:

'All these are able'-

Say Anglers, when they speak the truth-

'To fill a bowl with fish for some man's table.'
