Woodrow feels it's time for a change, so he changes himself from a worm to a snake. He soon finds out that not being himself can be hazardous to his health!
Excerpt
I have a good friend I would like you to know
He’s a little earthworm and his name is Woodrow
He should be happy just being himself
But that’s not the case, he wants something else
“I think,” he says, “there’s been a mistake
Instead of a worm I should be a snake!
And the change would be easy to render
I’m already long and really quite slender.”
The other worms say his wishes are foolish
Snakes are much bigger and look somewhat ghoulish
They say he’s a worm and a worm he should be
And behind his back they chuckle with glee
He went to the library and checked out a book
That showed exactly how most snakes look
There were big snakes and snakes that were tiny
Snakes that were dull and snakes that were shiny
Woodrow studied each and tried to find
Just the right type and just the right kind
Finally, “This is it!” he said with a snort
“I’ll change myself into the rattlesnake sort”
