An Early Worm Got out of Bed
by Jack Prelutsky An Early worm got out of bed and murmered, "I feel mean! I'll put my darkest glasses on, I'll paint myself bright green. "I'll dress up in my wildest wig, the one with purple bangs, I'll also wear a pair of horns and artificial fangs." That early worm poked up its head, which looked a perfect fright, and early bird observed that worm, and lost its appetite. |
