Worm World....[the Truth About Worms! ; Inspired By Loke Kok Yee]

Despite Loke Kok Yee's fine poem: Perspective From A Worm, I have some news (of the Worm World) which....will make some squirm. [Some PoemHunter members and/or visitors are who ….I do mean! ] The life of Worms, in the Worm World, is not always squeaky clean. Just the other day, according to Worm News and World Report, a young Worm (from a prominent family) was found taking a cocaine snort! And some Worm children go hungry.......as I type this, my newest poem; some are reduced, for survival's sake, to chew on Elm Tree phloem! ! And in a shabby part of one Worm city, fights broke out at a grass-juice bar, and five of the fights' participants were carried to a hospital …in a private car. Granted, this is unusual, as witnessed by the lack of any ambulance service, but the increase in such events (in the Worm World) is making many nervous. [nervous Worms, I mean! ] Ok, Worms have no worries about diseases of eyes, ears, or tongues, BUT ….. with increasing use of dandelion cigarettes, some have ‘issues' with their lungs. Truancy, births-out-of-wedlock, and other ‘social ills' are spreading very fast, and some Worm news commentators fear that Worm Society will NOT last! ! (October 10,2016)
