On a sunny day,
I sat under a tree,
With a wiggly worm on me!

I wondered what he felt,
As he slithered and squirmed,
On my hand, and then my elbow turned.

When I held him up close,
He stretched and wiggled more,
Then curled up in a ball, like never before.

Oh, the wonder of nature,
And the creatures we see,
Even a wiggly worm like he.

So the next time you spot
A wiggly friend like mine,
Take a closer look and give a smile that shines!
