Not to be “that guy,” but...
There are different types of worms
If I were to consider loving you as one
It would depend on which type you were.
Guinea worms, for instance
gnaw through their human host’s flesh
In order to lay their eggs.
Would I love you as a parasite?
Ma’am, you can barely make your bed.
You didn’t even file your taxes on time.
You’d have no time for love as a worm—
In seconds you’d be dead.
