Each wintry day I’d tread in rapt mistrust
as I picked my way to school and home
charily steeped in angst and disgust.
Worms claimed the sidewalk their own.

I held my father most to blame
for that block long park I had to pass
with lounging wrigglers spread amass.
It was he who’d enrolled me at Holy Name.

Too many times I was late for class.
“It was the worms” I pled, when I explained.
My beloved Sister Mary, taking my pass,
Looked embarrassed, wary and pained.
Since First Grade, I've Been
Concerned With Worms
