An Ode To Mealworms
Mealworms, mealworms you are so gross, so we aren’t really close. You live in a box, with lots of oats, and Amy, Kaitlyn and I, take notes. We have done lots of test, with you little pest. We now know you like the fruit, even though you are mute. We left you for a bit, and you were on the lurk, bothering all the students in Social Work. |
