Aunt-Eater Aunt-eater, aunt-eater Where have you been? Aunt Liz took you walkies And hasn't been seen Nor has Aunt Mary Aunt Lil or Aunt Di Aunt-eater, aunt-eater Why the gleam in your eye? Bookworms Bookworms are the cleverest of all the worms I know While others meet their fate on a fisherman's hook as bait or churn out silk, chew up soil or simply burn and glow They make their homes in libraries eating words to make them grow In long-forgotten classics latin tracts and dusty tomes snug as bugs they hunker down and set up family homes Vegetarians mainly they are careful what they eat avoiding names of animals or references to meat They live to ripe old ages and when its time to wend they slip between the pages curl up and eat 'The End'.
