The early bird gets the worm
So what – I’m a vegan.
The early bird gets the worm
There are plenty more in the garden.

- Comment from author about the poem: I've run out of time and inspiration so over the next week or so I thought I'd post a couple of these each day. They're a bit like the 'Love is' series and good fun to write without being too taxing.

As I've said in the comments I'll be posting a couple each day. I've run out of poems and too busy to write much else at the moment.
Look i appreciate your support, not everyone holds my worms eye view as a positive standpoint but your bringing to our readers attention how readily edible are my sort is something i cannot easily cast over.
More of this and you can sort your own topsoil out!
Most of the worms in my patch are trapped beneath a brown hard-baked lawn surface - will they ever emerge?
Will the grass grow again.
Will I ever see another worm cast?
Will the birds go hungry?
Will dusk ever come?
So many questions !!
The poor little buggers are staying low in all the heat we've had. My garden is a maze of huge cracks in the heavy clay soil.
I am getting in a landscape designer soon to redesign my patch doing away with the lawn entirely - who wants to spend their dotage cutting the stuff anyway? There are so many beautiful gardens which do not use grass (Japanese for example) I often wonder why we are so obsessed with it.
Those vegans get everywhere.
On one occasion when our daughter and two granddaughters came for Sunday lunch, they invited themselves. Roast shoulder of lamb was what I was cooking, sounds great but daughter does not eat lamb and older granddaughter was a vegan at the time. I ended up cooking roast lamb, roast chicken and vegan curry - I thought I should be working in a restaurant!
Roast worm wasn't on the menu then?
Not this time but it may well be in the future!
A good write Michael. Does Miss Berles like worms?
She makes Wormghetti Bolognese.
just like,
a robin redbreast hopping about
looking for a worm to come out.
nice rythme.
I've got loads of these - another two tomorrow.
cant wait.
Michael,
Thank you for my first laugh of the day!
Once again youāre using your psychic powers...
On my menu today is a bolognese sauce for my fettuccine! Unfortunately, no worms in sight for my bolognese! Iāll have to settle for Italian pork sausage meat...not as good as worms, but itāll do!
Happy Sunday!š

Ah yes fettuccine or tagliatelle - far better than spaghetti with bolognese or should we say al ragĆ¹ - anyway you'd know better than me but anything along these lines is okay - lashings of parmesan - why do western waiters only grate a tiny bit and when you ask them to keep going they look at you as if that will come at an additional cost. Just give me a bowl of the stuff so I can help myself. .
Youāre absolutely correct. It is ragĆ¹!
I know exactly what you mean about the cheese...that strange look they give when I motion with my hand to keep on grating. My dad would tease me about that! Heād say, āWould you like more pasta in your cheese?!ā (Loosely translated from Italian)
