The cat liked eating
The mouse looked at the cat

Refurbishing a Centipede’s Home
Well for starters,
finding the right sized bed
is often tricky.
You need leg room
and for a centipede,
that means lots of space.
I don’t mean to
be stereotypical,
but an awful lot
of my customers
have been very fussy
when it comes to picking
wallpaper.
It’s always either
too bright,
or too dark,
or too much
like Spider’s house.
Storage is another problem.
Shoes especially.
They’ve got so many of them you see,
but when you’ve found
the right rack,
you just know.
Finally, the flooring,
laminate is not
the best idea
for customers
with lots of legs,
neither is marble
for a matter of fact.
The perfect solution
is carpet,
a nice calm
and serene
colour preferably.
Just so they don’t feel rushed.
To top it off
you could always add
in that touch
of luxury,
a personalised foot spa,
made to fit.
Weird Worm
I know a boy worm,
He loves to play in the mud,
Standing straight and firm.
Wiggly Worms
Fat worms
skinny worms
long worms
short worms
soft worms
squishy worms
wiggly worms too.
Dark damp places
are great places for worms to go.
Rain drops falling on the ground
bring the worms up
from their damp dark places.
Spiders and Bugs
Spiders are spinning,
Planthoppers are jumping,
Itch mites are illuminating,
Dragonflies are diving,
Earwigs are exciting,
Redcurrant fire-flies are racing,
Scorpions are snipping.
Ants are achieving,
Nits are niggling,
Dung beetles are demolishing.
Bugs are everywhere.
Ugh!
Go away.
Scarper.
Wiggly Worms
We saw that in our garden, some worms.
They looked like they were orange.
And they wiggled around.
And they would go back in the soil.
I seed them in your composter.
Can I go and see those works again?
(Dictated to Daddy Hughes)
Busy Bugs’ Life
Beautiful butterflies are fun,
Busy bees buzzing around the sun,
Wonderful wriggly worms wriggling around,
Suspicious spiders on the muddy ground,
Caterpillars munching on leaves,
Queen bee being the chief,
Lush ladybirds flying in the air,
Mean millipedes like to share!
Worm in the Soil
I wish I saw a worm wiggling in the soil.
And I wish that it was blue, black or white.
I wish I saw a bee on a flower, rising up above.
From a seed to a daisy, oh what a sight, what a sight
Dragon flies do fly above the clouds.
Oh I wish, I wish that I could fly too!
Worms are Wriggly
Worms are wriggly,
Worms are squiggly,
I hate worms,
They eat all your leaves or lettuce,
They are soooo wriggly and squiggly,
If you stand on them they will not die,
They stay alive till they get to old,
I hate worms and I am sure they hate me too.
