You Don't Want To Know What Was In Abby Beckley's Eye

A cattle ranch is down this road!
And on the ranch? A nematode!

Where once before just tears had flowed
Her eye now held a different load!
A nematode? A nematode!
And what, pray tell's, a nematode?

"But heavens abound! Is that a worm?!"
Gasped Abby as she watched it squirm
betwixt her fingers and across the sink.
She didn't, daren't, dursen't blink!

The nematodes are there and here,
In each part of the lithosphere!
They live in you, they live in us,
It seems like they're ubiquitous!
