A Worm Murderer's Murky Motives

Jeffrey Gurms is killing worms, unapologetically
He gives them names, then kills them off in order, alphabetically
He smashes them with rocks and sticks, extremely energetically
Then watches as they squirm and ooze and bleed and die pathetically
He loves this hobby most of all— he’s drawn to it magnetically
He makes a mess of worm guts, but he’s not concerned aesthetically
Perhaps his lust to torture worms was built in him genetically
Or maybe this is how he learns to know of death, poetically
But possibly it’s ‘cause his surname rhymes with “worms,” phonetically.
