Wormy morning

Today is a gloomy Monday morning. The steady rain that started from the night before ensured one thing: thoroughly soaked land and mass migration of worms from down below. I've never been more grossed out, as I first walked from the garage to my car and as per my custom, would look down to gingerly step over the various megadriles sprawled in every which way. I saw fat ones that were easy to sidestep and really thin ones. In fact, to my horror, I think a lot of earthworm babies had just been birthed, because I saw so many thin pink string like objects on the ground and seriously, it was like Times Square for worms.

At my work place, I had to walk about 4 minutes to the building. That was a harrowing trip and as I walked to the building, I was chanting "gross gross gross" to myself, as I once again traveled in hip hops, trying to not be the reason certain earthworms meet their maker today. I also tried not to breathe or inhale too deeply because you can smell the scent of squashed worms in the air. I was especially fascinated and disgusted at the same time by this particularly FAT long juicy oozing worm. It was so big. I think it's an all you can eat buffet for some lucky birds out there.

Okay enough about worms, seriously, I need to get a life as I just spent the last 15 minutes expounding on the topic of these legless creepy crawlies.

You're going to be a doctor and you can't stand the sight of a few worms? You need to toughen up.

i don't like creatures that look gooey or slimy. i don't care about blood guts and organs.
