The Wriggly, Wiggly, Giggly Worm

Posted by Jacqueline Richards

Language point: using rhyme

The Wriggly, Wiggly, Giggly Worm could never keep still. He was quietly sitting on the flowers, when he giggled and fell on the windowsill. When he crawled on the flowers, the greenfly came unstuck. He tapped his feet and the petals shook, he crawled on the bookshelf and shook the pages of each book. It must have been an outbreak of a laughter epidemic, or perhaps he'd taken a pill ... but one thing that was for certain, the wriggly, wiggly, giggly worm quivered like he had a chill. His legs shook, his antenna, too ... he was the most the wriggly, wiggly, giggly worm in the whole of the garden zoo. As soon as music started to play, the wriggly, wiggly, giggly worm started to wriggle and wiggle in his own uniquely special wriggly, wiggly way. It didn't take much for him to titter ... he really was such a comical critter. When he crawled along the washing line, he suddenly started to cough ... he shook the clothes so much that three of the pegs fell off. Then the wriggly, wiggly, giggly worm crawled upstairs to bed. He was still giggling when he crawled underneath the duvet and it bounced the bed so much, he fell and landed on his head.
