early birds getting the worms

There is an old saying that goes, “The early bird gets the worm.” This is supposed to be a good thing, getting the worm. But what if you are not a bird? What if you are indeed a worm, and you happen to get up early? Do you then get the bird? So, just because you have no arms or legs, and no beak, you have to eaten by a bird? I don’t know about you, but I’d rather live in a world where there are no birds or worms who are stupid enough to play into the sayings of the ancient “wisemen”, who have nothing better to do than get up early, walking around trying to think up clever sayings about worms and birds. They are the worms, I say, they are the worms.
