The Early Worm

The Early Worm

A Poem by Rita L. Sev
"

Not such a good deal for him...

"

Wriggling up from his slumber

the sun shines strong and firm

it’s a great day to get moving

for the lively early worm

 

There is much talk, now this is true,

about that early bird

but there are things that you should know

which you may not have heard

 

The fowl is hailed for conquering

late risers he has beaten

The injustice is this other fact ~

the early worm gets eaten
