Worm, Turner

The Worm and the Turn (A Parable)

When I worked in construction, I'd usually head out to the job site before sunrise, and grab a quick bite for the road. On this particular day I made a Cup-O-Noodles. Quick. Tasty. Filling. Cup-O-Noodles.

I got to the job as the sun came up when I looked to see my, mostly gone,...Cup-O-Worms

My mind reacted, recalling the logic that I've learned along the way.

   - These were once teeny tiny worms that I couldn't even see, now they're just a little bigger.

   - They likely came from and thus eaten ONLY those same noodles I that I would have.

   - There are many people(s) that are thankful to have the nutrition of worms.

All very logical, but my gut interrupted. His voice came as an ugly, unstoppable force and It wasn't just the worms, it was everything.

Worm, Turner (A Rhyme)

Against all that I knew to be true,

Not all what I thought I would do,

I ashamed to admit, that I vomited.

Sometimes even good people do.
