If I were a Worm

If I were a worm

If I were a slippery worm,

I’d squiggle all day and stuff my mouth with mud.

I’d be gooey, squishy and stretchy like slime from a shop.

I’d have to squirm up out of the ground to take a breath, then wiggle back.

When my fat pink body went in the mud,my back would go up and down.

I would feel safe and sound underground because not much could harm me.

All day long I’d jiggle around doing nothing happily.
