It's comforting to know that we always have friends just waiting for us. We're all going to have to catch up, some sooner, some later.

Who am I to fight Karma? The Worms of FAWM Are Back! If indeed--dread thought--they ever left...

MY FRIENDS THE WORMS

Friendship is a wondrous thing!
It helps us through our days.
To all our friends then let us sing
Our songs of friendly praise.
We all of us need friends, you see,
And worms, for me, work admirably.
The garbo emptying my bin,
So early in the morning,
His truck would kick up such a din!
(I did give him fair warning)
Some blood there came, compacting he,
But my friends, the worms, cleaned it up for me
A noisy postman came one day.
His whistle made my ears ache.
The garden fork put him away
(Assisted by the leaf rake).
The mulching down, I'm pleased to tell,
My friends the worms did that so well.
The Parish Visitor emoted!
I've no time for Holy Cases,
So with the poker I promoted
Her to Higher Places.
(Some entrails stayed upon the stoop,
But my friends the worms, they cleaned it oop!)
The FedEx people, uninvited,
Claimed to make delivery.
I took the package, quite excited,
And dispatched them vigorously.
(Brolly straightened, mess still left,
But friendly worms, they clean up best!)
A total stranger, tourist, lost
Into my garden came.
Sought Bed & Breakfast, at low cost--
I used a raspberry cane.
The cane removed, there was no mess,
My friends the worms laid him to rest.
Some coppers came and claimed they had
A bone to pick with me.
"I don't pick bones, but I have friends!
My worms will join your feed!"
Then I made my big mistake--
My friends stayed underground--
As I charged with a tomato stake,
The coppers shot me down.
So as I lie here bleeding,
And Death comes rapidly,
It's friends right now I'm needing
And I know they'll come to me.
We all of us need friends, you see,
And worms, for me, work admirably.

I think it is the first ukulele murder ballad I heard in my life. Such a uplifting struming and such lighthearted singing ! Makes us believe he did murder only for friendship...
I think this earworm will follow me all the way to the grave !
@bigstarlet Mar 2022
This is sick, witty and hilarious all at the same time. I love a good murder ballad, and this is one of the better ones I have heard. Enjoy your time with the worms!

Oh, Tim, the WORMS re back! It´s been a while... :-) Good to see they are still alive in contrast to some other poor victims in this song... Great way to combine the worms with a murder ballad and to marry it all with such a lovely, upbeat tune!
@mariekevinkmusic Feb 2022
#wormcore is a thing??? Does it have to have a Ukelele? What are the rules? Can I get in on this?
This song made me giggle, a much needed smile.
@robynmackenzie Feb 2022
Yay, the worms have returned! This is absolutely delightful--and hilariously dark.
@fuzzy Feb 2022
We all need friends.
You can't go wrong with a ukulele.
It makes everything better.
("You are accused of murdering half the town!!"
"But, Your Honour, UKULELE!!"
"CASE DISMISSED!!")
Such dark humour, which is totally up my alley for sure.
Totally enjoyed.
Yeah, #wormcore is picking up; I wrote one myself, and there's yours, and so one more #wormcore tune will make it a MOVEMENT!!
@heavyhedonist Feb 2022
Traditional praise of great friends, I quite enjoyed the vocal ride and the uke trippingly tripping along.
@karan Feb 2022
WHAHAHA! This gentle and innocent singing, accompaning such a gruelling, bloodthirsty (and funny) story, is absolutely amazing!
