I am a humble creature, living from day to day.
I’m happy in the garden, though it. is mainly clay
Life was been most kind to me, I never asked for much.
I never asked for glory, I could not do with such.

But now I have a problem, I don’t know which way to turn.
Please don’t snigger at me, I’m just a harmless worm.
Kathy had a birthday, numerous plants arrived.
She planted them in the garden, I didn’t know which was to dive.

First she was digging to the left, then it was to the right.
I was waiting in the middle, she gave me such a fright.
Her spade it came down heavily. It cut me right in half.
This is a very sad day for me, I wish you would not laugh.

I don’t know if I’m Him or her, or if I’m Mum or Dad.
My halves are healing, from now I am two, but also very sad.
The more I think about my plight, pondering with a scheme.
 If Kathy is careless with her spade. I could became a football team.
