Woozleworms



The Woozleworms are on the flowers
Sat chewing at the petals
And nibbling through the tender stalks
With teeth as tough as metal
 
But Gaffer Gamgee worried not
He knew to save his plants
With just the thing that worms all feared
Some little biting ants!
 
Although the ants were really small
They gathered in large numbers
And bit and nipped the Woozleworms
To feed on them for supper
 
And so the biting ants were loosed
To feast upon their prey
But where the Woozleworms once crawled
The ants were here to stay
 
These ants were rulers of the plants
And guarded with their bite
Once more the Gaffer hatched a plan
And wasps were in his sight
 
For wasps like eating little bugs
And found the ants a treat
So set amongst the worried ants
The wasps had much to eat
 
Although the ants were soon all gone
The wasps could still be found
They menaced all the garden plot
And stung all folk around
 
So Gaffer was not yet deterred
He knew a type of flower
Whose pungent scent of smelly socks
The wasps were overpowered
 
But now remained the smelly plants
Whose putrid odour choked
It made the poor old Gaffer sick
Along with passing folk
 
But reading books on gardening
The Gaffer soon would learn
The way to rid these stinky plants?
Releasing Woozleworms!
 
Too late old Gaffer realised
The flaw within his plan
For now with all these Woozleworms
He was back where he began
 
But Gaffer Gamgee worried not
He knew to save his plants
With just the thing that worms all feared
Some little biting ants....
