FanStory.com - Worm World 3by Bill Schott

You have heard of the apple bite,

and the worm that was bitten in two:

but I will tell you the truth of it now,

though it may be shocking to you.

We start at the fruit that was eaten,

a pear, not an apple at all;

and it was not bitten but pared,

by a knife with no trouble at all. (Sorta)

Now was it a worm that was severed,

since most of the story is wrong?

According to hospital records,

the knife cut deep and long.

A finger fell to the floor,

amputated by chance from a hand;

but somehow today it's related

in a way that we don't understand.

Years from now it will be a pineapple,

that a man bit into with zeal,

and found that he'd halved a small creature,

a miniature E-lectric eel.
