Children's Songs

[A. Vine]

And mine:

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me
Guess I'll eat some worms
Big worms, little worms
Ooshy gooshy squooshy worms     [note: the "oo" in "book"]
Worms that squiggle and squirm.

First one's greazy }slurp{ down easy
Second one stuck to my tongue
Third one rusted, fourth one busted
Fifth one tried to run

Cut off the heads!  Suck out the juice!
Throw the skins away.
Grown-ups just don't understand why
Kids eat worms every day
