I WILL NOT EAT THAT EARTHWORM
I will not eat that earthworm.
I don’t care what you say.
I will not eat that earthworm,
so take that worm away.
You say that I’m a coward.
You say that I’m a quitter.
I’m terrified to open wide
and gobble up that critter.
You bet me that I wouldn’t.
I guess that you’re the winner.
But after all those centipedes,
I won’t have room for dinner.
