As usual, the WriMo is coming through for me with awesomeness. Now, the only question that really waits is which goodies do I want? Do I want ‘Steaming Cup’:
Or ‘Viking Ship’?
Nope, I’ve got it: BOTH!
Is this funny? I don’t think it’s funny.

A long time ago, in a land far away, a girl composed a poem about worms. i can’t really remember much of it, except that it was hilarious. SO, for my WriMo, I set out to create a similar funny (if not hilarious) poem, to be added into my tale. Of course, feeling not so inspired for most of the time I was writing, I left the poem for the end, for the last of my creative juices. The result is less than pleasing:
Digging, delving, ever pinker
Rolling juicy earthworms pant.
Singing gaily of their prowess
Who can tell what makes them dance?
Dancing come they, willy-nilly.
Dancing come they, to a feasting.
Festive garbage, festive eating.
How to move, then, with no feet?
Jiggle-juggle go the earthworms
Jiggle juggle dancing sweetly
Keeping time with rings of gristle
Keeping jiggles as they creep.
In there tunnels none will mark them.
Eating refuse, breathing deep.
So, now I need to make this funny. Or, if you already think it’s funny (you weirdo, you). I need to make it funn-ier. Please help.
