Little worm - wiggle wiggle,
You make me and my sister giggle.
You live in mud,
You live in wet,
Yet never ever see a vet.
You must be very healthy worm,
Wiggle Wiggle Wiggle Squirm.

Today I saw a
little worm
wriggling on his belly.
Perhaps he'd like to come inside
and see what's on the telly.

Oh Wiggly,
squiggly, squirming worm,
Most brilliant of creatures under terra-firm,
Builder of tunnels exquisitely round
Creator of dirt so deliciously ground
Engineer-builder without college degree
You eat up your work--
and do it for free.

WORM GRUNTING?

WORM CHARMING

When the
earth is turned in spring
The worms
are fat as anything.
And birds
come flying all around
To eat the
worms right off the ground.
They like
the worms just as much as I
Like bread
and milk and apple pie.
And once,
when I was very young,
I put a worm
right on my tongue.
I didn't
like the taste a bit,
And so I
didn't swallow it.
But oh, it
makes my Mother squirm
Because she
thinks I ate that worm!

I found a
worm, his name is Eddie,
Last name Thomas, middle one Freddy.
I took him to school, I took him to church,
But now I am beginning to search.
I looked everywhere, it's quite absurd,
But then again, I have a bird!

ZUCCHINI
In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable,
which means it is usually cooked and presented as a savory
dish or accompaniment. Botanically, however, the zucchini is
an immature fruit, being the swollen ovary of the female
zucchini flower.

TOMATOES
Tomato plant vines are typically pubescent, meaning covered
with fine short hairs. These hairs facilitate the vining
process, turning into roots wherever the plant is in contact
with the ground and moisture, especially if there is some
issue with the vine's contact to its original root.
|
BASIL
Basil, like other
aromatic plants such as fennel and tarragon, contains
estragole, a known carcinogen and teratogen in rats and
mice. While human effects are currently unstudied, the
rodent experiments indicate that it would take 100–1000
times the normal anticipated exposure to become a cancer
risk. |
