The Short Hairs on an Earth Worm's Belly Button

by Desirae - 6th grade

This little worm just squirmed around

he was never thinking what's on bottom

until he looked down

and here he saw them.

the short hairs on his belly button

he had never seen them before

then one day he was squirming

they got stuck in the apple core.

He tried so hard to get them out

he pulled and pulled til he got loose

after he got away

he ran into a goose.

The feathery thing just picked him up

and off they went away

that picture is still stuck in my mind.

I'll probably never forget that day.
