Worms, Ants and Zombies
I’m under a dome, inside a barn
A giant steel worm farm
Crawling with thousands of ants
Wearing drab skirts and pants
Some are dazed, dumbfounded like me
Others stride out bold and carefree
Seeking their worm’s tunnel
Walking down an endless funnel
Where the guzzling worms stop and go
Slurping ants up, riding to and fro
Oh no, which steel worm to catch
Before the grinding worm halts, to hatch
Unfazed, into a mysterious iron-belly I jump
The giant worm rattles at every bump
Rolling through underground passages
And all the ants are reading messages
Heads down, looking at antenna screens
With their vacant Zombie eyes of red beams
I quietly ask one, “where do I get off this worm”
It snapped, “You’re asked the wrong germ! “
Suddenly I’ve a gurgling feeling of fear
And I must escape, before It bites off my ears
