The beauty of the ocean
The mermaid, is a flirt,
But the siren of the garden,
The wormaid, lives in dirt
She swims through the soil
She dives between the rocks
Her home is Compost Cove
Where she combs her wormaid locks
All the worms adore her
They listen for her song:
“Banana peels and rotting pears
We’ll feast on them till dawn!”
A goddess of the underearth
A soil-sodden queen
The legendary wormaid
Half-worm and half-sardine
