Sometimes I sit and think,
often about gummy worms
and their sweet flavor
and soft texture,
always in danger,
of a lecture
about eating too many.
'I know,' they would tell me,
'that you love them, and we want
you to enjoy things,
but you eat so many,
everyday, hundreds,
it must cost money,
and time.'
I would laugh and tell them
they do not realize
that I am the gummy master
the king of worms,
I can eat them faster,
as they wiggle and squirm,
into my belly.
