Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Tell me the story
Of the inches you've roamed.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Tell me the story
Of the inchworm's home.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me of people;
Tell me why people
Hurry through life.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
You do not worry,
Nor face the world's strife.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me of rulers;
Tell me how rulers
Can bear the world's sadness.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Patient by inches
You've no warring madness.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me of living;
Tell me why living
Is filled ever with pain.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Tell me how you live
Without going insane.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Hear the world's story;
Hear as I tell you
About humankind.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Hear the world's story;
Hear that we hurt
Because we are blind.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Hear me tell your story;
Hear as I tell you
Why you live so well.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Yours is a story
Of living life slowly
To have stories to tell.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Tell me the story
Of the inches you've roamed.
Inchworm, inchworm,
Tell me your story;
Tell me the story
Of the inchworm's home.

For Edward Trudeau with love and friendship.
