You're fat
And I don't like the way you move.
Hairy legged worm, that's what you are!
You're just larvae by another name
Eating cabbages and making doilies
Of everything.
Get away from me!
Until you change, I don't want to see you.
I could squish you
Between my fingers
But I don't want to feel you
On my skin.
Lurid, horrible little beast.

You may have noticed that caterpillars fail to inspire me. I actually have nothing against them at all.
