Worm Poop!

Have you ever seen a leaf disappear into the ground?
It was probably a worm pulling that leaf down.
Because, when a worm needs something to munch,
it pulls a leaf down into its hole for lunch.
A dead leaf for lunch. A dead leaf for lunch.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about worms.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about worms.
And when a worm gets done eating a leaf,
like all animals, it poops for relief.
Now talking about worm poop might sound rude.
But worm poop is important plant food,
important plant food.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about worms.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about worms.
And when it rains, the water runs down into the worm’s hole.
If he stays there, he’ll drown. So the worms come out
on the sidewalks and streets to breathe some air
and get squished by feet (yeeech!), squished by feet.
Watch those feet.
Let the worm dig his hole and keep the ground loose.
It makes it really easy for all the plant’s roots
to get air and the food that the worm makes.
Just don’t step on the worms. That’s all it takes.
What am I talking about? I’m talking about worms.
